The Healing Hand

The Healing Hand Raised arms and angry voices In defiance of events of the day Turmoil rages in the streets Things just didn't go their way It's a picture that is commonplace Seems it is paramount in our land Just who is right and who is wrong Each side expressing their demand Is there no place for "the golden rule" Or are we too engulfed in - "our way" Is there no place for compassion No time to seek God, - and pray There is a solution to it all If His Word, we would apply It's found in 2nd. Chronicles, 7:14 Greed, anger and malice, it will defy "Love thy neighbor, as thyself" Is a tall task for anyone But the reward, it would provide Supersedes that of a gun Each side seeks, a healing hand But will they pay this price To sacrifice "self," and turn to Him No one can improve upon His advice Colan L Hiatt = 05-27-15 © All Rights Reserved
