Learn War Any More~~~

~sss~


A friend sent me this verse~~~~
The poem stems from it~~~
and what is going on
in the World Today~~~


For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide for many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.

Isaiah 2:2-4 RSV

 
Learn War Any More
 
"Neither shall they learn war any more",
Oh God, this is what I've been praying for,
So much cruel suffering:  They say ~~~for Your Sake,
How on earth can they make such a terrible mistake???
 
The bombs are destroying the land that You gave
To Your people Israel; never more to be slaves
To those who call You by another name,
Lord, can't You teach us we all are the same???
 
 
If swords were made plowshares,
We could feed all the masses!!!
And spears were pruning hooks,
Perhaps time would then pass
 
And  finally we could learn
Under the skin ~~~we are all the same
We could share this beautiful world
Without resentment or blame
 
Reaching out to hold my brother's hand,
Standing for peace, and a 'promised' land.
Lord, judge each nation, let them all see,
Their OWN sin: repent~~~ and draw closer to Thee.
 
For the truth is~~~we all are
The same in Your eyes:
You gave up Your Son
So tomorrow will rise.
 
So, Peace Now, I pray, for my Savior's Sake,
Let all life be renewed, allow no more mistakes~~~
Give strength to our leaders, open wide their minds,
Help us to move forward, leaving no one behind...............
 
God Bless and remember........
U R Loved.
