May the people of All nations be United in Thy care,
For earth's peace and man's salvation
can only come by Thy grace.
And not through bombs and missiles,
and our quest for outer space....
For until all men recognize
that "tThe Battle is the Lord's",
And Peace on Earth cannot be won
with stragedy and swords.
We will go on vainly fighting,
as we have in ages past,
Finding only empy victories
and A peace that cannot last.....
But we've grown so rich amd 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 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.
