Then Mankind Can Once Again Celebrate

When His simple words we learn to obey
And vow not to let our planet decay
When creatures we no longer violate,
Then mankind can once again celebrate!

A plundered planet, filling souls with guilt
As we look around seeing what we’ve built
If we will help Nature to recreate,
Then mankind can once again celebrate!

It’s not too late to turn things around
Let all ears hear His mighty trumpet sound
To put down our swords, banish all hate,
Then mankind can once again celebrate!

When His simple words we learn to obey,
Then mankind can once again celebrate!
