Grace

God bless us.  Why hurt so much?
Why anger, pain, destruction
From such a gentle touch?
I’ve heard so much of compassion,
Of love and trust,
From human to human being
But not from you to us.
Be gentle God and kind.
Why break a heart,
When tender love is reaching
Out to you to start?
God be straightforward,
Not a mystery of the mind,
Not a barside quarrel
That languishes behind.
God, be not bold in judgement
But be just, not only up in heaven
But even here on earth..
Let us praise you because we know you
And not because we do not,
Because perchance you might exist
And then our chance is lost.
God Bless us.  God, bless us all.
