If Only We Could See the Light If only we could see the light that dwells in every heart, regardless of the diff'rences that set our lives apart. But if we are to live in peace and true diversity, then we must learn to value all, and love our enemy. If only we could hear the song that all of nature sings, that calls us to protect the earth and all the good it brings. For if we cannot keep the world from our exploitive ways, we squander our inheritance and bring on desperate days. If only we could find the words to cool the angry flames ignited when we disagree and smoulder when we blame. For when we seek to reconcile is when we understand that building bridges and not walls sustains what God has planned. text by Allan Baer ©2017 290 Indian Rd.
