Make Us One

Inspirational Poetry

By Distinguished Honorary Alumni Dr. Matthew PrimousPublished about a year ago 1 min read

We're trying through hardships and rain

We're trying through sickness and pain

We're trying on the narrow way

We're trying to keep my mind straight

We're trying to walk in your way

We're struggling to keep our faith

We're struggling to keep it up

We're struggling to be just like you

It's hard to be set free

It's hard to be saved and see

It's hard to give you charge

It's hard to let you have your way

Help us to be better

Help us to know you are there

Help us to hold our heads up high

Help us to push our shoulders back

Help us to turn over the fight

We need you gotta to have you

We need you wanna be you

We need you you are all in all

Now we know make us one
