We Stand Here With Mixed Emotions
Of Hope And Fear,
Hope For The Peace We Long Have Sought,
Fear That Our Hopes Will Come To Naught...
Unwilling To Trust In The Father's Will,
We Count On Our Logic And Shadow Skill
And, In Our Arrogance And Pride,
Man Is No Longer Satisfied
To Place His Confidence And Love
With Childlike Faith In God Above...
But Tiny Hands Tousled Heads
That Kneel In Prayer By Little Beds
Are Closer To The Dear Lord's Heart
And Of His Kingdom More A Part
Then We Who Search And Never Find
The Answers To Our Questioning Mind,
For Faith In Things We Cannot See
Requires A Child's Simplicity...
Oh, Father,
Grant Once More To Man A Simple
Childlike Faith Again,
Forgetting Color, Race And Creed
And Seeing Only The Heart's
Beep Need...
For Faith Alone Can Save Men Soul
And Lead Him To A Higher Goal,
For There's But One Unfailing Course -
We Win By Faith And Not By Force.
