This is a song from Karl Anthony which is entitled “One Prayer”.
The message in the song struck me in particular way, so it has had a profound effect for me.
Here’s a video with the song.
Below are the lyrics. I’ll let it speak for itself.
If I had one prayer, I’d pray for people who hate,
Maybe I’m out of mind, or deep in my faith,
A man grows old when his soul’s in pain,
Only love can loosen that chain,
But if I offer you grace, will it cause any change?
And do I appear weak
If I calm my rage?
I think of revenge,
But will I become the thing I despise
When a heart goes numb?
I’ll say a prayer
Hoping it finds with people who hate.
I send it now
To heal the hearts of people who hate.
If only one song could silent hate
And end the all the war, before it’s too late,
If a cold mind could begin to feel
Then the fear in our world has a chance to heal.
I’ll say a prayer
Knowing it finds people who hate.
I send it now
To heal the hearts of people who hate.
Pray for people who hate.
All of our thoughts can set the stage
For the power of love is larger than rage.
When we take revenge,
We will become the hate we despise
As our soul goes numb.
I have one prayer for the world to hear.
It’s a cry for mercy,
The last of our tears.
Let hate dissolve.
Let the past reveal
That love shown us what is real.
Spoken words:
Angels above,
Quiet the pain
In people who hate.
I’m sending one prayer
To heal the hearts in people who hate.
May all be loved.
May all be blessed.
May all feel peace.
May all be loved.
May all be blessed.
May all feel peace.
Pray for people who hate.
I’m sending love to people who hate.
I must out of mind or deep in my faith.
