I prayed for love and peace on earth
Undying calm to ease the fear
A tranquil and halcyon birth
And sanctuary for those held dear
I prayed for solace, peace of mind
An end to war and butchery
For peaceful means to show the blind
To honour faith and make them see
And past an age of bleak despair
About this nightmare, I awoke
And slowly I became aware
The Lord had heard, and then He spoke
And God said love, and be as one
To tolerate, and turn the cheek
Abide the grief, it will be gone
Acquaint your will and guide the weak
And God said heed your fellow man
Bestow relief and fill his bowl
To overcome the tyrants plan
For peace shall grow within the soul
