TO BELIEVE
Lyrics by Matt Evancho
“Before I lay me down to rest
I ask the Lord one small request
I know I have all I could need
But this prayer is not for me
Too many people on this day
Don’t have a peaceful place to stay
Let all fighting cease that your children may see peace
Wipe their tears of sorrow away
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow’s counted
That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer
Let me try always to believe
That we can hear the hearts that grieve
Please help us not ignore
The anguished cries of the poor
Or their pain will never leave
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow’s counted
That you hear their cries and listen to each prayer
Father, as you see, I’m just a child
And there’s so much to understand
But if Your Grace should surround me
Then I’ll do the best I can
I promise, I’ll do the very best I can
To believe in a day
When hunger and war will pass away
To have the hope amidst despair
That every sparrow’s counted
That you hear each cry and listen to each prayer
(Hear each cry and listen to each prayer)
Help us do Your will our Father
In the name of all that’s true
And we’ll see in one another
The loving image of You”
Wishing you all a blessed Easter!

Beautiful words. We can only hope that the belief in a better and peaceful world will be fulfilled. I wish you all the best, my friend, greetings, Marie
There are men and women of good will working for a better world, though we do not often hear of their efforts. Do not lose hope. Have a wonderful Easter, dear friend. With love, A. ❤
Some people have been in a place that they decide to stay cause some have forgotten them. That is where the other caring people must bend down and walk them into victorious and healthy living.
