Our Master's Touch

Our Master’s Touch

We are linked together
Love is our only rope
Connecting us as one
With a chain of hope

We can lean on one another
Or push each other away
But hand in hand we can develop
The tools needed today

We need them for compassion
What the world seriously lacks
Or a tool of forgiveness
And kindness perhaps

We can learn that we
Were created to be one
And somehow together
God’s work will be done

Put down your weapons
Lay down your swords
And stop taking jabs at people
With your unkind words

Remember a jagged tongue
Can leave a brutal scar
And is one of the reasons
We are in the shape we are

Spreading vicious rumors
And using vindictive tones
Can sometimes be more harmful
That throwing large stones

We need to set aside our differences
Life is far too short
War is not necessary
No matter what the news reports

You will not get to heaven
With my blood on your hands
You must find kindness and mercy
It’s what God commands

So let’s stop preparing our children
For an untimely death
And teach them how to love
And show them they are blessed

Our children have important matters
Like school...sports...learning to run
They should not be bothered
With purchasing a gun

They are like fine spun crystal
So easily it will break
Far too many have perished
We have no time left to wait

Love one another often
You can’t say I love you too much
And I will see you at the divine alter
Waiting for our Master’s touch
