In Community
by Michael Doyle

Coming together in community
Fulfills our need for family
Anxiousness brings rise to danger
As to each other we have become strangers

Violence takes away from us all
Destruction only brings pride's fall
When we forget our relations
We only bring sorrow to our nation

Praying for peace on our knees
As children of God, we must act to please
Joined together in prayer, it's God we embrace
Asked in supplication, keeps the righteous in place

The arrogance that has stolen our land
And we might seek in each other to stand
The focus needed on the Lord's loving ways
Keeping this in mind in all of our days

Challenging us to step up to greatness
To run our race in its needed straightness
Living our lives in decided reverence 
Brings us all to our needed perseverance 

Trusting God to use us though we are ordinary
In accomplishing His will into the extraordinary
Doing what is right might have its costs
But, if you have belief in God, you will never be lost
