J.M.J.
AS IN THE BEGINNING
THERE WOULD BE NO MORE KILLING OR FIGHTING OF WARS,
NO MENDING OF WOUNDS OR THE NEED TO HEAL SCARS.
THERE WOULD BE NO MORE BITTERNESS, ENVY OR PRIDE
IF MAN BY GOD’S LAWS, AS HE ASKED, WOULD ABIDE.
NOT ONE TEAR WOULD EVER FALL AGAIN FROM YOUR EYES;
THERE WOULD BE NO MORE ANGUISH, NO HEARTACHES, OR SIGHS.
THERE WOULD BE NO MORE LONELINESS, NO SUCH WORD AS GOOD-BY
IF MAN WOULD PRAISE GOD AND HIS GOD GLORIFY.
THERE WOULD BE NO NEED TO INVEST OR TO BORROW;
GOD WOULD PROVIDE FOR YOUR EVERY TOMORROW.
ALL THAT YOUR HEART WOULD EVER DESIRE
GOD THRU HIS LOVE FOR YOU WOULD ACQUIRE.
THERE WOULD BE NO FLOODS, NO DROUGHT, NO DISEASE;
ALL THE TORNADOES AND EARTHQUAKES WOULD CEASE.
ALL WOULD RETURN TO GOD’S PROMISED LAND
IF MAN WOULD RETURN TO LIVE BY GOD’S COMMAND.
MAN WOULD LIVE ONCE AGAIN IN THE GARDEN OF PLENTY
IF HE ALLOWED GOD TO FILL EACH HEART THAT WAS EMPTY.
GOD DOES NOT WISH MAN’S LIFE TO CONTROL
BUT TO GIVE MAN ETERNAL LIFE FOR HIS SOUL.
