There is this world outside our door
Filled with guilt, rancor, so much more
A place where sadness multiplies
As lives are trashed before our eyes.
How many more are traumatized
By actions less than civilized ?
Please Lord, accept our gratitude
And in our lives kindness include
Teach us to be the best we know
To do Your will where ere we go !
