SAVE THE HOLY LAND
Save the Holy Land
Hail Mary full of grace
Israel and Palestine battles for place
These lands revered and loved by all
Should never fall , should never fall
Troops plundering, Deaths mounting
Chaos and Despair ever surrounding
Happenings there gives a shiver
Christians fear that the end may be nearer
The Spirit of the Lord should come to place
Its fire on the hearts of those disgraced
And with the heat on their tongues proclaim
Never to persecute, set no more flames
To save these lands, we will leave no pain
As our promise to thy son will never go in vain
He died for we sinners long ago
He lives through us and we will never forgo.
About this poem
The persistent war between Israel and Palestine has affected the holy city of Bethlehem. It is strange that peace does not prevail in the place where once lived a saviour who was born, lived, died and born again.
