Gander Story Poems: If All The World Were Christian 8-4-07

August 4, 2007

Just imagine a world without theft, keys, burglar alarms or guns....

If all the world were Christian and everybody prayed,

you could walk down any street and wouldn't feel afraid.

And if someone were stranded, you'd lend a helping hand,

because without a single crime, all's safe on sea and land.

If all the world were Christian and everybody prayed,

you could travel anyplace and give your neighbor aid.

And if someone were hurting, you'd know just what to do,

because without a greedy soul, you'd see your neighbors through.

If all the world were Christian and everybody prayed,

you wouldn't be so selfish but honest in your trade.

And if someone were happy, you'd be right by their side,

because if you're a Christian, your smile's a mile wide.

If all the world were Christian and everybody prayed,

you could hear a child cry while other children played.

And if some child should hunger, you'd bring them milk and bread,

because if you're a Christian, there's joy when they are fed.

If all the world were Christian and everybody prayed,

you would know each day's a gift. The days will never fade.

And if someone were thirsty, you'd give sufficient drink,

because if you're a Christian, God’s wisdom makes us think.

If all the world were Christian and everybody prayed,

there would never be a war. No nation would invade.

And if someone should hurt you, you'd show him Godly love,

because if you're a Christian, your strength's from God above.

If all the world were Christian and everybody prayed,

we would not feel guilty but know our sins are paid.

And if by some small, tiny chance - we all could live on truths,

this world would be a better place, with "pleases" and "thank you's".

If all the world were Christian and everybody prayed,

we would not feel weary, but rest in Heaven's shade.

Then on our deathbed we'd be laid - on satin sheets so soft,

and all would look upon our shell - as our spirits soar aloft.
