A Troubled World


I live in a world where families are torn apart

A world that love's meaning is distorted

It is soiled and trampled on

A world in that people are lost and confused

Who don't know where they are going

Looking for what is not there

I see broken lives that search for healing

Healing that may never come

My soul is in agony for them

For them to know their divine purpose

For them to know that relief is right in front of them

Insight if they look up

They just need to reach out their hand

I can be their relief

I can be their guide

I can be God's hands for those that suffer

I can lead them to eternal happiness
