about

Quakers believe that they should try and see God in everyone. This modern quaker believed that it wasn't just everyone but everything.

lyrics

A Quaker’s Song.

Are you there in the hand that offers pain or healing
Are you there in a hot dry wind over sand where once were farms?
In a tired mother’s eyes, a stare that hides all feeling,
Watching her child grow stronger or dying in her arms?

Let winds of trade blow down the walls,
And cool rains fall again,
Each little girl grow proud and tall
And small boys become men.

Are you there in the heart of the one who pulls a trigger?
With the generals who always lose no matter how they try?
Are you there inside the terrorist who shows no fear nor flicker
Of remorse as he explodes, causing innocents to die.

Lord, let the battlefields grow silent
And in our foes see you.
Let our armies all march home again,
Then let’s try - what love can do.

May my confusion become simple words
As I wait here in the quiet.
Lead me from my darkness Lord
And hold me - in your light.
