My Christian Prayer

Guardian angel, can you explain?
Why there is such hatred against God's name?
Can't all see the wonders He has wrought?
Or the value of the lessons He's taught?

I respect their rights not to believe
And hear the alternatives they conceive.
Why can't they return the same kindness?
What is really behind all that blindness?

True Christians know they've no right to judge.
So why do the others still hold a grudge?
There's always some who rotten the pot
But how does that mean the rest are for naught?

Will we never learn to get along?
And that there is no clear cut right or wrong?
Why do both sides call each other names?
Why do they persist in such childish games?

No matter our belief from whence we came,
Deep inside our souls we are all the same.
We have the same doubts and unsurety
About how and why we each came to be.

It hurts my heart to pick and to choose
No matter which way I turn, I will lose.
Will you please help me to understand?
How I can make a difference in this land?

Teach me to reach out to all my brothers
To let them know some aren't like the others.
We all must learn to live side by side;
Not only here, but also worldwide.

I'm willing to beg on bended knee
Or do anything else you ask of me.
Help me do something to fix this mess
And ask the Father each of us to bless.
