Good Purpose

Looking back at the past to long
Blinds the future. 
Concentrate our strength 
Bundle-up our individual thoughts.
Use your God-mind, we are stronger together.
Unity moves mountains.
 
Look up at the sun and see the clearing sky.
We cannot spare the straying lamb.
Those who would harm us must not succeed.

God is greater than any man; 
Together we must stand. 
Backward never, let’s stick together; 
Or we won’t advance. Stuck in the avalanche 
Of backward thinking, 
Keeps new thought horizons sinking.
 
Looking back at the past to long
Blinds the future. 
We are humanity,the spine that binds morality…
We are here just like you, 
No-one made one race the judge,
Help carry life's accumulated burdens
Instead of the old tired grudge.

Let us feel, let us pray universal sorrow away.
Let us do things in God's way, 
listen to the voice within. 
Sin may be buried deep within, 
from years of hearing dirt.
Planted inside of innocent souls 
are years of angry hurt.

Generations, now only passes through,
Never accomplishing what they came to do.
Buried in sin and evil thoughts, 
Keeps mankind's soul tied up in knots.

Meditate, and God will speak.  
Listen to the quiet voice within. 
He promised never to leave you. 
Nor ever to lead you astray;
He made us for his good purpose,
And some got lost along the way.

Look deep within, and find that purpose.
Been looking back too long.
Staring in life's rearview,
Blinds the future of our strong.
Weakly bellowing out misunderstood songs. 
That third verse is not healing,
Yet, perpetuates all the wrongs.
 
Concentrate on our strengths 
Bundle up your thoughts as one.
Use your God-mind, 
In this new day and time.
We are stronger together.
Unity moves mountains. 
Making life better.

Look up at the sun.
See the clearing sky.
We cannot spare the straying lamb. 
God said,” I Am that I am”.

Unity moves mountains.
Let us drink from God's flowing fountain. 
Drink not the stagnated water of evil deeds;

Those who would harm us must not succeed.
God is greater than any man:
Together we must take one stand. 
Backward never, let’s stick together.

....He made us for his good purpose!

Excellent advice in a poetic package. I wonder how many will open it.
