They Pray to God

As individual souls evolve over the course of many lifetimes, their prayers change            (See "They Pray to God)

A thousand lives in fear of hell

Through tears and pain they suffered well

They are the lost, can’t find their way

They suffer on from day to day

They cry for mercy with fear and dread

They live their lives among the dead

Their lives are not in their control

They pray “God Save Me, please spare my soul”

They raise their head and say “What’s this?”             

 “I heard a thought, it felt like bliss

I need to listen, it could be right

It sounded good, I saw a light

I have this feeling, I can’t suppress

That I can defeat this emptiness

I see there’s truths I’ve not been told”

They pray to God “Please tell me more”

A sudden vision strikes their soul

“I see that truth can make me whole

I now must know the final truth

That I couldn’t see when in my youth

I see it now, there’s no need for pain

It’s how you play it, what you learn in the game

I can control my destiny

The greater truth has set me free”

They see that man has had a fall

They pray for wisdom, to know it all

They thank the Lord that they finally see

They are the Gods of their destiny

They look upon their fellow man

With pity, for they know they can

Assist them through their painful strife

And learn the purpose of their life

Their lives can be in their control

They are the masters of their soul

“For one last time I shall return

To help my fellow man to learn

The path to wisdom, to save his soul”

They pray “Thank God, you made me whole”
