If

If I could amend
If I could transcend

a new life I'd begin
I'd be the mother I should have been

If I could alleviate
If words could ameliorate

the discouragement you feel
You'd always hear words of comfort that heal

If abuse were stopped
If its affects were lopped

I would shout out loud
"This devastation is not allowed"

If sickness we could terminate
If death we could eliminate

We would see no more tears
We would hear happy cheers

If... does not depend on me or you
All these wrongs... Jehovah will undo

Its not a matter of if---but when
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart---until then

I know for a certainty that all Jehovah's words will be fulfilled.
