The Power of Love

Author: Helen Steiner Rice

There is no thinking person
who can stand untouched today
And view the world around us
drifting downward to decay

 

Without feeling deep within them
a silent unnamed dread,
Wondering how to stem the chaos
that lies frightfully ahead...

 

But the problems we are facing
cannot humanly be solved
For our diplomatic strategy
only gets us more involved

And our skillful ingenuity,
our technology and science
Can never change a sinful heart
filled with hatred and defiance...

So our problems keep on growing
every hour of every day
As man vainly tries to solve them
in his own SELF-WILLFUL WAY...

But man is powerless alone
to CLEAN UP THE WORLD OUTSIDE...
Until his own polluted soul
is CLEAN and FREE INSIDE...

 

For the amazing power of love
is beyond all comprehension
And it alone can heal this world
of its hatred and dissention.

“He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” - Revelation 21:7
