Untold Bible Stories

Of a child growing up without a father And the love and nurture of a mother The struggle for food on less than a dollar In a world of abundance poverty still a ruler Dried up wells and contaminated streams Life on the brink in a desert of dreams Knowledge like water, how rare for some Education and schools taboo (Boko Haram) Remember to pray my son, mother said to me There’s so much evil, airplane crashes and terrorism And Islam and the perversion of this religion The focus and fear drives us from being Christian Remember to call on God the only true referee The one who can guide us to unity and victory He seeks neither an election nor a campaign Forget His love we remember only hatred and pain
