Lyrics
Dear God up in Heaven, I ask this of you
There's fighting and killing,what am I to do?
I see all the faces of soldiers at war
and I'm really not sure what this fighting is for.
So I sing for your mercy,
I sing for your Grace
I sing for your blessing on this human race.
May we find in our hearts to lay down all our arms,
And live here together without causing harm.
Dear God up in Heaven, I ask this of you
The children they suffer, what am I to do?
The tiniest faces are begging for more,
Please help us to keep them from living this war.
So I sing for your mercy
I sing for your Grace
I sing for your blessing on this human race
And I ask for your mercy in helping us see,
This isn't the way that the world has to be.
