Our Father up in Heaven, hear this fervent prayer May the people of all Nations be united in Thy Care... For earth's peace and man's salvation can come only by Thy grace And not through bombs and missiles and our quest for space... For until all men recognize that "The Battle Is The Lord's"... And peace on earth cannot be won with strategy and swords... We will go on vainly fighting, as we have in ages past... Finding only empty victories and a peace that cannot last... But we've grown so rich and mighty and so arrogantly strong, We no longer ask in humbleness-" God, show us where we're wrong" We have come to trust completely in the power of man-made things, Unmindful of God's mighty power and that He is " King Of Kings" We have turned our eyes away from Him to go our selfish way, And money, power and pleasure are the gods we serve today... And the good green earth God gave us to peacefully enjoy... Through greed and fear and hatred, we are seeking to destroy... Oh, Father up in heaven, stir and wake our sleeping souls, Renew our faith and lift us up and give us higher goals... And grant us heavenly guidance as war threatens us again- For, more than Guided Missiles, all the world needs guided men. Helen Steiner Rice
