taken from “Someone Cares” by Helen Steiner Rice
Every man has a deep heart need
That cannot be filled with doctrine or creed
For the soul of man knows nothing more
than just that he is longing for
A Heaven that is safe and sure
a fortress where he feels secure
As island in this sea of strife
away from all the storms of life
O God Of Love, who sees us all
YOU are so GREAT we are so small
Hear man’s universal prayer
crying to you in despair
“Save my soul and grant me peace
let my restless murmurings cease
God of Love- Forgive ! Forgive!!
teach me how to truly live
As me not my race or creed
just take me in my hour of need
And let me know YOU love me too
and that I am part of YOU
And someday may man realize
that all the earth, the seas, the skies
Belong to God who made us all
the rich, the poor, the great, the small
and in the Fathers Holy Sight
no man is yellow, black or white
and PEACE ON EARTH cannot be found
until we meet on Common Ground
and every man becomes a BROTHER
who worships God and loves each other
