This World is Your World
Posted: February 12, 2011
New lyrics to an American folksong…
We can be certain the Green Bay Packers
are celebrating up in Wisconsin.
Those cheesehead wedges are being worn with pride.
But in the world-at-large there's pain.
We can't be certain about the outcome
in Cairo, Egypt where outcries call for
Mubarak's ouster and a new government.
Lord, help us know just how to pray.
But in the meantime in our fair cities
we can be grateful for God's provisions,
for food and shelter, for peace within our land.
Lord, help us learn to be content.
* the above can be sung to the tune for "This Land is Your Land"
