PRAYER FOR HELP

Lord grant me that one day I can

Help my fellow distressed man

Not by fighting in a war

Or invading foreign shore

Not by sending money there

For diplomats to strip it bare

Not to leave the food outside

And leave the crooks to steal and hide

I want to meet the people there

To show them that we really care

To give them food and medication

To prove to them, our dedication

I’d like to help them build a home and live like humans do

Give them injections to stop them dying from simple colds and flu

This is the way we need to go

To help them plough and help them sow

For these people to survive, they have to learn to live

To find a purpose in their life, but they also need to give

We need to give them back their pride, so they will want to work

Survival will depend on them and frown on those who shirk

Giving money eases conscience, and money’s what it needs

Giving time is more important and the will to do good deeds

A lot of money just gets lost

In back pockets, bribery or administration cost

The people’s self sufficiency could increase by the hour

To drive out the corrupt ones and relieve them of their power

When the people find they have the power to live their life their way

They’ll find a voice that will be heard and people have their say

What I want, is to see the good

As all those who give money should

To put the criminals into jail

To remove from them their holy grail

To give back power to where it should be

To set these oppressed people free

I’m ready to go, if I can help out

If you want to join me, just give me a shout
