Hopeful

HOPEFUL That wars will end That hunger will cease That we will all live in peace No more greed, anger, strife Prejudice, hatred, bigotry or pride Why do we abuse God’s precious gift The freedom to choose By choosing evil instead of good? Deceived by the one who wills us death Rebellious hearts Many religions and man-made gods Offering false hope The souls of mankind Searching for peace And an answer to all This chaos we find ourselves in Should we close our eyes And turn away Take care of number one? Impossible for us to Take away all the pain Indifference reigns Hopeful that you and I Will trust in the one Who gives us life, peace And victory over all evil Hope imparted To change what I can To help where I am To see others as valuable And God as all-powerful To catch his vision For hearts of peace To become a world at peace
