With those hardened hearts kept tightly shut...

We pray compassion will survive
in public and in private lives.
Misplaced power holds to a rut —
those hardened hearts kept tightly shut.
The damage done in homes world-wide,
dysfunction rife, a rolling tide.
Some fam’ly ties forever cut —
those hardened hearts kept tightly shut.
When greed’s bad avarice holds sway,
we read the news with sad dismay.
Of thieves and fraudsters there’s a glut —
those hardened hearts kept tightly shut.
We dream of how our lives could be,
when lived in peace, our hopes set free.
But tyrants love to preen and strut —
those hardened hearts kept tightly shut.
It’s harsh when lives are lived in fear
while clinging to what we hold dear.
Please pray for change — love will rebut
those hardened hearts kept tightly shut.
