Let The Sun In Poem by Leria Hawkins

Let The Sun In
Date: January 15,2015

Carry on, oh wayward wind
Carry on, from hearth and kin
Deliver a prayer to foreign lands
Over raging rivers ‘n burning sands

Hold without harm in thy perfect grace
Shelter from life's long cruel race
Blind our eyes to the greed of man
Steady lift our upturned hand

Let us do as others have
Let us be the balm, let us be the salve
Into the wounds of those who cling
Let us rise to be a voice that sings

Lift the burden on our backs
Give us strength to fill the cracks
To patch the rift that threatens all
Give us strength, before we fall

Let wisdom guide us on our road
Let courage bear the heavy load
Teach our hearts to understand
That we are one…that we are man

Let the guilty stand to wear the stain
Let no religion be defamed
For streets that bleed dark and red
Let us close our eyes and bow our heads

Lift us up, to see the light
To understand the wrong and right
Bring peace to ease our troubled minds
For the greater good of all mankind

And through the voice of charity
Please lift our hearts in solidarity
Let compassion be our rising sun
To lay down our sins and lay down our guns
