With Hands Outstretched

Though people walk away from you
Though friends and family stray
Walk steadily with love in view
Along the narrow way

Let Love your heart and soul ignite
Stand firm amongst the fray
Gleaming within the murky night
Revealing world decay

Pray righteousness would take the field
God’s Fire on heads would fall
That ignorance to truth would yield
And answer Heaven’s call

Pray all the chained up nations free
Religious head would bow
Traditional eyes would learn to see
And firmly grasp The Plough

God wishes ‘all’ to live on earth
Each colour faith and creed
Through faith to give us second birth
And meet our every need

Although we have our different views
Seeing therein no flaw
God wants us ‘all’ to hear The News
That leads through Heaven’s door

So ‘all’ should seek to understand
The One who gives us life
Stretch forth to ‘all’ a loving hand
And cease our foolish strife

Let’s scrutinize our neighbour’s ways
Each book by which we live
Bidding The Truth to set ablaze
That only God can give
