May You Always Place the Lord Before You
THE WORLD IS AN ILLUSION
THERE'S WAY TOO MUCH CONFUSION
WE CAN'T FIND THAT INNER LIGHT TO GUIDE US
THERE'S SOMETHING THE MATTER
BETWEEN THE NOISE AND ALL THE CHATTER
WE CAN'T HEAR THE VOICE FOR TRUTH INSIDE US
TO KEEP PEACE ALIVE
WE MUST CONTINUOUSLY STRIVE
TO ALWAYS PLACE THE LORD BEFORE US
DROP YOUR KNIVES AND YOUR GUNS
TELL YOUR DAUGHTERS AND YOUR SONS
TO ALWAYS PLACE THE LORD BEFORE THEM, BEFORE THEM
THE WORLD IS SUCH A MESS
IT'S WORSE NOW I CONFESS
WE CAN'T SEEM TO GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER
THERE'S SUCH HATRED AND DIVISION
IT'S DESTROYING GOD'S VISION
OF HIS CHILDREN TAKING CARE OF ONE ANOTHER
TO KEEP LOVE ALIVE
WE MUST CONTINUOUSLY STRIVE
TO ALWAYS PLACE THE LORD BEFORE US
DROP YOUR KNIVES AND YOUR GUNS
I'M BEGGIN EVERYONE
TO ALWAYS PLACE THE LORD BEFORE YOU, BEFORE YOU
IF YOU WANT A BETTER WORLD, YOU'VE GOT TO TRY, YOU'VE GOT TO WORK,
YOU'VE GOT TO PRAY, YOU'VE GOT TO STAY THE COURSE.
IT'S ALL UP TO YOU, SO HELP US THROUGH, MAKE IT RIGHT, DO WHAT YOU CAN DO,
TO FIND THE FOUNT OF GOODNESS AT ITS SOURCE
IT'S A MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT
DARKNESS DISPELS THAT GOOD LIGHT
WHO CAN HELP US TO CARE FOR EACH OTHER
IT'S ALMOST TOO LATE
SO DON'T HESITATE
TO ALWAYS PLACE THE LORD BEFORE YOU, BEFORE YOU
TO KEEP PEACE ALIVE
WE MUST CONTINUOUSLY STRIVE
TO ALWAYS PLACE THE LORD BEFORE US
DROP YOUR KNIVES AND YOUR GUNS
I'M BEGGIN EVERYONE
TO ALWAYS PLACE THE LORD BEFORE YOU, BEFORE YOU
