They Pray To God

A thousand lives in fear of hell Through tears and pain they suffered well They are the lost, can’t find their way They suffer on from day to day They cry for mercy with fear and dread They live their lives among the dead Their lives are not in their control They pray “God Save Me, please spare my soul” They raise their head and say “What’s this?” “I heard a thought, it felt like bliss I need to listen, it could be right It sounded good, I saw a light I have this feeling, I can’t suppress That I can defeat this emptiness I see there’s truths I’ve not been told” They pray to God “Please tell me more” A sudden vision strikes their soul “I see that truth can make me whole I now must know the final truth That I couldn’t see when in my youth I see it now, there’s no need for pain It’s how you play it, what you learn in the game I can control my destiny The greater truth has set me free” They see that man has had a fall They pray for wisdom, to know it all They thank the Lord that they finally see They are the Gods of their destiny They look upon their fellow man With pity, for they know they can Assist them through their painful strife And learn the purpose of their life Their lives can be in their control They are the masters of their soul “For one last time I shall return To help my fellow man to learn The path to wisdom, to save his soul” They pray “Thank God, you made me whole”
