I asked the Lord to give me the verse
That rides with angel wings
Singing in a such a chorus
That melts hate into unconditional love
So uplifting it sighed in every stanza

Oh Lord give me the verse to open minds
In such a free spirit that it dances on clouds
Storming with power to be heard
Calm enough to beat in the warmth of your heart
So temperamental to be independent

Lord let the words cry in happiness
Medicate depression into new found elation
Consoles in death giving renewal in birth
Sending the faith in prayers of hope
Delivering peace to a land of war

Lord I may be asking too much
That people hug each other
In the hope for something better
Trying to help mankind survive as equals
With nothing to prove as a master race

Lord let me whisper in such grace
That even my critics have respect
Seeing a plain man with the words that think
As my enemies claim to have destroyed me in lies
Let my friends cuddle me in the truth

Most of all Lord give me the words to understand myself
In the garden of reflection that sees your shadow
Bless the identities that make someone unique
In words that creates a paradise
In a universe of one saying a prayer
In words You share
