Tell me because I am from North
Tell me because I am from South
Either East or West
We are one

Venezuela, land of beauty and grace
Lies a city, a sacred and holy place
New Jerusalem, a sight to behold
A city of faith, a story to be told

Racism, a plague that poisons our world
A venomous viper, with a deadly sting
It's hatred and bigotry, tightly furled
A dark cloud that casts a shadow on everything

For it has caused so much harm and pain
Corruption, greed, and power in its grasp
Leaving the people to struggle and gasp

Sweet and fleeting love, let me hold you
For just one day, in my arms so tight
Let my heart overflow with love like a sae

The end time crusade
The days grow dim as darkness takes its toll,
The end time crusade brings forth its might,

The Depths of God love,
How vast and endless is God's love
A boundless ocean that never runs dry
Its depths can never be measured above.

A sanctuary, where peace abides,
My home, a haven, warm and true,
A tapestry of dreams come true.

In city streets, where shadows creep,
Orphans and destitute, they weep.
Homeless, they wander, day and night,
In city streets, where shadows creep.
...

Petition, humble plea, a voice of need,
A cry for change, a cause to heed,
A petition penned with heartfelt might,
In hopes of justice, shining bright.
