Our sad world needs a lift today;
Remember when you kneel to pray
To ask Our Blessed Lord, above,
To shed His mercy and His love.
Crime is rampant everywhere
And hard times have brought despair;
Dread diseases know to some
Can't easily be overcome.
The homeless line our city streets
And even the strong admit defeat;
Smiles are few and far between,
Life seems to have lost its sheen.
Drought and floods have left their mark
And our children fear the dark;
Wars which we can't understand
Wreak havoc on a foreign land.
Gloom and misery fill the air,
Non-believers fail to care;
Only God can end our plight,
So trust and pray with all your might.
