The Peace Prayer
by Laura Swindon-Ross Lord, let us sit around the table And learn of Peace In the dialog of nations And the stratagems of government Where the ear of God is listening; Lord, let us look unto this Earth And learn of Peace As we look out through the windows At the stirrings of our planet, as she makes Accommodation For the errors in our judgment As we learn to better manage Our inheritance; Lord, let us look at our fellow man And learn of Peace In the challenges of poverty And the hand that measures wealth May we befriend that Charity That offers hope and education Love and emancipation For the sick and the oppressed; Lord, let us look unto ourselves And learn of Peace In the sanctuary of the family Where the process is begun Where parents teach their children That the tolerance of the one Begets the loving happiness of many; It's a big world, Lord; Help us to live Your Word And understand That there's Room For Everyone In it -- We ask this in Christ's name, Amen. 2010 Laura Swindon-Ross This work is copyright, all rights reserved.
