We cannot ask (Vol 3 No 67)
We cannot ask a god above
To end starvation and its hell;
We have resources near at hand;
If only we would use them well.
We cannot ask a god above
Our prejudice to check, dispel;
For we have eyes with which to see;
If only we would use them well.
We cannot ask a god above
To halt disease; when minds excel
In searching for some healing cure;
If only we would use them well.
We will not ask a god above
To mend our world and then expel
All unjust deeds, iniquity;
The choice is ours to do things well.
And so we pray for strength and zeal
To make a difference; Who can tell
What might occur if we believe;
In God we can do all things well?
