Instruments in a Common Band: Oh God is Watching over Us! We Need to Have Hope and Love!

From a Distance Written by Julie Gold and song by Bette Midler on GodTube

From a distance the world looks so perfect! From a distance there is harmony and peace. We can have it all. Unfortunately, people have ruined it for others. Starting with Adam and Eve, until now, it is hard to see or say we have Heaven here on Earth, man has been corrupted, are deceitful, misleading, selfish, greedy, lack responsibility, and care. Our world could be a better place, from a distance it may look wonderful, up close quite dirty and evil. It starts with each one of us. Man, especially the elected and so called leaders, they have corrupted all, decided they want to play God and it is up to them the fate of humanity, and they hurt all of us. We see it today in most governments around the world, certainly where I live, and we see most elected and so called leaders are corrupted, by money/greed and power. It is sad to see, the perfect world God created for us, destroyed by man with his free will. However, we do need to have hope. We all need to play our own peace and hope in this band we are in as we march along this world. We need to remember that God is watching over all of us, it is up to each one of us to live an upright, holy, godly life for Him! Our deacon at church mentioned this song yesterday, so I wanted to refresh my memory of the lyrics, very nice reminder, it is up to each one of us! Amy Grant had a song around the same time and it had lyrics, God is watching over us! From a distance we are instruments marching in a common band. What a blessing! 

From A Distance
Written by Julie Gold and song by Bette Midler

From a distance, the world looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance, we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance, we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope
Playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance
From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance, I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting's for
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man (every man)
It's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
This is the song for every man
And God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance
Oh, God is watching us
God is watching
God is watching us
From a distance
