Consequence of Hatred

War and death are all around.
LORD, will peace again be found?
Though You made all men brothers,
We seem to hate each other.

Our children bear consequence
Of our own intolerance.
Why teach children how to hate?
Model love ere it’s too late.

Hatred is a bitter pill,
Causing men to war and kill.
Selfishness and greed abound
Where God’s love cannot be found.

Teach respect for every race,
As we dwell here in this place.
Teach us LORD, to mend our ways,
And share Your love all our days.
