You remind our nation--we are only human.
We want to control
the world through force,
but with you such
thinking will not prevail.
The rich blessings
you have bestowed on us
are to be shared,
shared with the whole world.
Strengthen us to set
out into the strange world
of peaceful living
and just sharing of your gifts,
even if we do not
know the way.
You have given us the
bread of life.
You do not mean for
us to keep it
for ourselves only;
it is for
the life of the world.
