Every morning in Africa,
when the Sun rises,
a deer awakens,
knowing it has to outrun the fastest lion.
or be hunted to death....but....
when the Sun rises,
a lion awakens knowing it has to outrun
the slowest deer or be starved to death.
It does not matter whether you are a deer
or lion, when the Sun rises,
better be running at your best....

We look ahead through each changing year
With mixed emotions of hope and fear
Hope for the peace we long have sought,
Fear that our hopes will come to naught.
Unwilling to trust in the Father's will,
We count on our logic and shallow skill,
And in our arrogance and pride,
We are no longer satisfied
To place our confidence and love
With childlike faith in God above.
And tiny hands and tousled heads
That kneel in prayer by little beds
Are closer to the dear Lord's heart
And of his kingdom more a part
Than we who search and never find
The answers to our questioning minds
For faith in things we cannot see
Requires a child's simplicity.
Oh, Heavenly Father, grant again
A simple, childlike faith to men,
Forgetting color, race, and creed
And seeing only the heart's deep need.
For faith alone can save man's soul
And lead him to a higher goal,
For there's but one unfailing course
We win by faith and not by force.
