Breaking the Walls

Bob Ocio, DMD, RN.

If only, we can break the walls that divide our country

4 sorrowful

If only, we can wake up early each morning and start to pray,

Then, God and the heavens will be pleased with how we start our day;

If only, we can praise His Holy Name as we start our journey,

Then we shall remember that we can do nothing without Thee.

If only, I can have a grateful heart to thank Thee every single day,

Then, I cannot think that what I have is all because of me;

If only, I can ask for His wisdom to know His will for me,

Then, I can be sure that He will always be there to guide me.

If only, I can ask to plant every tree that the Lord has made for me,

Then our children cannot lie on the street hungry and wary ;

If only, I can ask Him to make me fill the land He lends me,

Then I may not see children whose parents work from far away.

If only I can kneel for a single soul each and every day,

Then I shall be blessed with hope that a man is at peace with Thee;

If only I can ask for forgiveness for my sins against Thee,

Then He shall have mercy to cleanse me, heal me and to keep me.

If only, we can pray as one family, and then, one country,

Then the Lord will see us, bless us and keep us from anxiety;

If only, we make ways for others as He did for you and for me,

Then we can share the joy of peace, love and equitability.

If only , we can believe in the CHANGE that we can dream to be

Then we can start to wake up, get up , and walk the right way;

If only, we can treat our countrymen as brothers in a selfless way,

Then God can heal our land and His truth shall set us free
