Oh Lord we are not worthy,
That we should come to you.
But we are at your mercy;
And don’t know what to do.
Somehow we’ve strayed off your path,
And things have gone amiss.
We can no longer bear the wrath,
We  fell in the abyss.

Oh Lord can you help us,
Can you ease the hate?
You’re the only one we trust,
To veer us from our fate.
Can you make provision,
Give us another chance?
Can you thwart our cruel division,
And change our circumstance?

Oh Lord we implore you,
Can you help today?
Some of us have gone askew,
Help us find the way.
Teach us fact from fiction,
Show us right from wrong.
We then would change our diction,
To better get along.

Oh Lord may we ask you,
When can we begin?
There seems to be much work to do,
To heal hearts  from within.
And if we are most careful,
If our objective is unfurled,
If we are all successful;
We might change the world!
