That none would know hunger – v7

A prayer for the age, for our time
That the world would be at peace
that no one would be without water
that none would know hunger
oppression, or struggle
starvation forgotten

Praying on this day
for a change to come about
all the world’s people
acting as one, united
to offer their abundance
giving from the heart

That none would know hunger
each of us doing our part
that sharing would become common
not hording our gifts, our treasure stored up
in ever larger silos, rotten
that the world would be guided
by compassion, by love
