I Looked & Saw

I looked at the earth

And I saw the innocent blood

I looked at the skies

And I saw death come down quickly

I looked at the mountains

And I saw the cruel devastation

I looked and there were no birds

And I saw that they had disappeared

I looked at the fertile field

And I saw a cemetery of bones

I looked at the people

And I saw in their eyes despair

I looked at the mothers

And I saw tears of pain

Lord, what can I do?

 

In the middle of war,

In the middle of death,

In the middle of devastation,

In the middle of desolation,

In the middle of loneliness,

In the middle of famine,

In the middle of despair,

In the middle of the pain?

 

And He told me,

 

Seek peace with everyone,

Share love without measure,

Help build cities,

Pray for the birds to sing,

Plow the wounded land,

Love to bring hope,

Wipe every tear from their eyes,

In this way the world will be changed!
