Weak
posted by John Davies at 6:22 PM
Continuing the theme of last Friday's blog.... and yesterday's, too, probably...
How to teach peace to children
In a place that's torn and bruised
How to bring food to a hungry
Girl who's battered and abused
How to build hope on housing schemes
Whose walls are being pulled down
How to find work for people of worth
When there's no work around
How to encourage cries for justice
When the law's not listening
How to build a people of prayer
When the air's full of sirens screaming
How to help love thrive in lives
Deprived of such a rare thing
How to get businesses started
In a place so starved of cash
How to look for a religion of love
Between popery and the sash
How to keep women out of jail
Who can't afford their bills
How to make strangers welcome
With race hate the root of all ills
How to fashion beauty
From faces lined with care
How to hold hands with the bedridden ill
Whose families aren't there
How to address the decision makers
Forcing changes from afar
How can the Spirit help us
Weak as we are?
