Imagine

Imagine if you knew 
The day you were going to die 
Imagine if you went through life
without ever having to lie 

Imagine if you were perfect 
And a person with no fault 
Imagine if you were never angry
Kept it all locked up in a vault 

Imagine if you had to power 
To wipe away all tears 
Imagine if you had the power 
To chase away all fears 

Image if you had to power 
To make sick people well 
Imagine that would probably be like
Closing the gates of hell 

Imagine if you never saw 
Color, Creed, or race 
Imagine if you faced your demons 
Spat right in their face 

Imagine if there was no such thing 
As hunger, fear, or war 
Imagine if the ones who fought 
Knew what they were fighting for 

Imagine there was no such thing
As egos or massive greed
Imagine that would probably mean
More people with less needs 

Imagine if you had dreams like John 
Of a world that lived in peace 
Imagine enough likeminded people
Could turn this into a belief

Someday things will be different when Jesus comes to set up His Kingdom, but until then it won't happen. Nice to read your thoughts on the subject. Thanks for sharing. Sara K
