We need to stop, just stop
|
Stop for a moment
|
Before anybody says
|
or does anything
|
That may hurt anyone else
|
|
We need to be silent, just silent
|
Silent for a moment
|
Before we forever lose the
|
blessing of songs
|
That grow in our hearts
|
|
We need to notice, just notice
|
Notice for a moment
|
Before the future slips away
|
into ashes and dust of humility
|
|
Sotp, be silent, and notice
|
In so many ways, we are the same
|
Our differences are unique treasures
|
|
We have, we are, a mosaic of gifts
|
To nurture, to offer, to accept
|
We need to be, just be
|
Be for a moment
|
|
Kind and gentle,
|
innocent and trusting
|
Like children and lambs
|
Never judging or vengeful
|
Like the judging and the vengeful
|
|
And now, let us pray
|
Differently, yet together
|
Before there is no earth, no life
|
No chance for peace
|
Peace for our world
|
For our world
|
For our world
|
|
-----------------
|
For Our World
