War-Torn Countries
I did not know what else to do.
For I know your heart is broken,
And your world is shattered too.
You've lost your homes and families,
To a cruel, ugly war,
Where the innocent ones suffer,
And there's pain at every door.
I do not know the answer,
But I do know how to pray,
And I ask God to guard you,
And be with you every day.
I pray that he will help you through,
These dark and dreadful hours,
I pray that He will touch the hearts,
Of all the super powers,
And fill them up with love, and peace, And, with understanding,
And to all the raging wars,
Please, to put an ending.
I know that He will answer,
All our heartfelt prayers one day,
And He'll send Jesus back to earth,
Evermore to reign.
In the meantime, do not give up hope,
And I'll pray everyday,
For the peace, that only God can give,
To help you on your way.
