If The World Were Mine to Save

(The world's way of salvation vs. God's)
One of my new-ish songs...

If the world were mine to save
I'd be the ruler, strong and brave
I'd share the land and spread the wealth
Give out knowledge, fame and health

If the world were mine to save
law would rule and all obey
the guilty judged, the lawless pay
and all the nations fear my name

And all would have and none would need
Our wealth would purchase everything
Still hope would die and death would reign
If the world were mine to save
If the world were mine to save

If the world were yours to save
You'd free the prisoners, break the chains
You'd take the sick, the blind, the dead
and trade your life for theirs instead

If the world were yours to save
You'd live among the poor and slave
You'd take the guilty and accused
change their hearts and make them new

And all would have and none would need
Your blood would purchase everything
You'd steal the power of the grave
If the world were yours to save
If the world were yours to save
