This Is the Day the Lord Gave

Here is the day The Lord gave. Like every other day that was given before Death, destruction,war and more Suffering for some, struggle the same May the day stay true to what life is People, animals, suffer alike Suicide bombers and genocide so rife Murder, hunger, abuse and crime Freedom fighters ,all, who have died in my time Abandoned babies, and aids alike Depression and drugs, abusers alike This is the day The Lord gave Yet this world has turned it's back, No peace, or compassion, power and lust Money and hunger are true to life. Sickening humans who have no soul Put here by satan to demolish us all It may seem so, but it's untrue The worlds gone crazy In turn life becomes hazy This is the day The Lord gave How mistaking we are ,as a human race Just look at the sky and clouds You will see gods grace And in between all the scum of the earth Resides good souls, and a new rebirth And as we cope with all that is real The love for others, is what's really real The beauty and faith surrounds us all Nature and caring is easy to grasp Forget the evil, it will never last This is the day The Lord gave Happiness, love, compassion and strength Hills to climb, time well spent Faith, overpowering all that is bad Goodness and beauty, will be the last to stand. My love for god is in the palm of my hand It runs through me like an electric cord Ecstatic jubilation and it's free for all So take what's given unto us all So much love to fill ones cup This is the day The Lord gave The bootcamp of life is destined for all Cherish each day, it's guaranteed to end for all Appreciate everything abound Hard at times, you will be found Because This is the day The Lord gave.
