Civilized? [Song Remix]

[The words to this song were originally the poetic mastery of PAQ member Angela Ward. With her permission, I have re-written this into a song that my band will be perfoming at a benefit concert to support world missions. Enjoy.]

[Verse 1]
Are we human living in sin,
When men are killing other men.
People do things that are unkind,
Something’s wrong with this kind of mind.
How can we say we are civilized,
(Are we truly civilized?)
When people haven’t realized,.
Hungry children walk the street,
Looking for food to eat.

[Chorus]
Our nation was founded on God alone,
(alone)
Why do so many people die unknown?
(unknown)
If our nation is so mighty and grand,
Why don’t we put our trust in His hand?
(Put it in his hand!)

[Verse 2]
So many people unhappy and scared,
All the suffering and grief to bear
Their family destroyed by another,
When they remember him as a brother.
People can be frightening and cruel,
(So cruel)
When we sit around like fools.
Life is so precious and tender in the mind,
What’s happened to mankind?

Our nation was founded on God alone,
(On God alone)
Why do so many people die unknown?
(Die unknown)

If our nation is so mighty and grand,

Why don’t we put our trust in His hand?

(Put it in his hand!)
Our nation was founded on God alone,
(On God alone)

Our nation was founded on God alone,
(On God alone)
Why do so many people die unknown?
(Die unknown)

If our nation is so mighty and grand,

Why don’t we put our trust in His hand?

(Put it in his hand!)

In His hand!!
