Sandra Finch - Heaven Above

God wants His children to live happy and free,
But when He looks down, this is what He sees.
His children starving, killed for what they believe.
Living in poverty instead of Eden, like Adam and Eve.
He sees His children thinking only of themselves.
All His teachings of love lying dusty on the shelf.
He sees greed, hate, sadness, very little love,
Tears fall from His eyes to this sad earth from above.

But then God also sees hope, compassion and caring.
People helping the weaker through empathy and sharing.
God sees forgiveness, a child's outreached hand, so
He sends angels to protect all who live in this great land.
God sees families together with their hands folded in prayer,
Praying for peace and thanks that others do care.
He sees His children once again knowing His love.
God then smiles and the sun shines from Heaven above.
