Please God Let It Be

God has truly given me a beautiful day.  As always, I wonder why God decided to bless me so.  I finally finished writing my 15 page paper on the Brahman of India.  I also finally was able to get away from the seminary and spend some time at the park enjoying the beautiful fall colors and some good company.  Then, this evening I got to go to a Reformation Service on campus.  Once again, God has blessed me when I didn’t deserve to be blessed.  But with this blessing, he also reminded me that not everyone has a beautiful day like me.  There are still millions of orphans in the world who need to be loved.   Most days I wish I was finished at Seminary so I could go to them, but I know the time isn’t right yet.  There is still a famine in West Africa.  There are thousands of Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists who will die today without every coming to know God.  But anyway I was thinking today about how cool it would be if every person in the world knew God and his never-ending love.  Can you picture it?  I don’t know if it is even possible for all of the people in the world to hear and accept the gospel in my lifetime but I am going to pray that God would let it happen. 

Please God let it be

I’m picturing a world

And praying that God will let it be

From the fields of sweet Ohio

To the clear blue South China Sea

A world filled with nothing but believers

The Buddhist priest bowing down at noon

And praising our God instead

Please God let it be soon

I’m picturing a world

Turning golden as God is praised

Each orphan cry answered

God let our world be saved

Please God let it be

Human trafficking ends in India

The hungry in West Africa are fed

Please God consider this idea

I’m picturing a world

Where your name is spoken freely

And the whole world knows your love

Please God let it be
