Speak Lord

Lord some people search and search .
Speak to those lost on the earth.
There are some who won’t agree .
Speak to those who cannot see .
Speak to those who can’t find work .
The bitter and those who hurt .
Speak to the children at play .
Speak for those who cannot say .
Speak to all those torn apart ,’
Those who have a broken heart .
Speak to people discerning ,
To courts and seats of learning .
Speak to ears that cannot hear ,
to those in war , those who fear .
Speak to babies before birth ,
Speak to gardeners of the earth .
Speak to Christians who love you ,
Speak to Muslims and Hindu ,
Speak to doctrines in control ,
Speak to the depths of our soul .
These are trying times indeed.
Speak to those who are in need .
I know your voice , hear my plea ,
Speak to my friends , speak to me .
