Dear Jesus

Dear Jesus,
Please give us strength,
To carry our crosses,
Like you carried yours,
I carry mine now;

Dear Jesus,
I pray to you,
To make us strong people,
To make us like you,
To show us the way.

Show us the way,
To bring peace to the world,
To end all the wars, that make our blood pour,
Show us the way,
Teach us to open our hearts,
Kindness to brethren, may the violence end,
Show us the way.

Dear Jesus,
For us you died,
But have we forgotten,
The message you've sent,
Please help us today;

Dear Jesus,
Where are you now,
When we need your guidance,
Are you by our side,
Please show us the way.

Show us the way,
To bring peace to the world,
Kindness to brothers, helping each other,
Show us the way,
Teach us to open our hearts,
To shed the hatred, against each other,
Show us the way.
