A Prayer for Peace

Our Father, up in heaven, 

hear this fervent prayer 

May the people of all nations 

be united in thy care. 

For earth's peace and man's salvation 

can come only by Thy grace 

And not through bombs and missiles 

and our quest for outer space. 

For until all men recognize 

that "The Battle is the Lord's" 

And peace on earth cannot be won 

with strategy and swords. 

We will go on vainly fighting, 

as we have in ages past 

Finding only empty victories 

and a peace that cannot last. 

But we've grown so rich and mighty 

and so arrogantly strong, 

We no longer ask in humbleness 

"God, show us where we're wrong" 

We have come to trust completely 

in the power of man-made things, 

Unmindful of God's mighty power 

and that He Is "King of Kings" 

We have turned our eyes away from Him 

to go our selfish way, 

And money, power and pleasure 

are the gods we serve today. 

And the good green earth God gave us 

to peacefully enjoy, 

Through greed and fear and hatred 

we are seeking to destroy. 

Oh, Father, up in heaven, 

stir and wake our sleeping souls, 

Renew our faith and lift us up 

and give us higher goals. 

And grant us heavenly guidance 

as war threatens us again 

For, more than guided missiles, 

all the world needs guided men.
