Football doesn’t do much for me so I thought now would be a good time to do a little blogging. I am feeling better… I had a slight flu for awhile… it sucked! Anyway… I wanted to post lyrics to a song that we sing at church a lot… anyone who is religious and isn’t thrilled with the idea of war will probably appreciate this song… it is even more beautiful put to music but I don’t have a recording of it… sorry… but just click more if you want to read the lyrics… Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday… and a great beginning to next week.
People of Jesus trusted to be bearers of peace from God’s living tree,
peace that the world itself cannot know,
the peace that is given to plant and to grow.
Feel for the ones who have no more bread,
feel for the loved ones with children unfed.
Longing for food,
they find in our hands a mountain of weapons more sacred than land.
Feel for the ones whose homes are destroyed,
feel for the lives now shattered and void.
Waiting for loved ones nobody saw:
the innocent people who suffer in war.
Stand with the ones who see a new way:
people of faith who struggle and pray,
given the call to shape and rebuild our actions, our consciences, our broken world.
Pray for the day our children will see,
war strange and distant as slavery.
Work for a world where new ways abound to meet and to dialogue till peace is found.
Why spend your tears on what cannot heal?
Why spend your rage on what you conceal?
God’s living Word cries out to reveal a love that will satisfy,
hope that is real.
Children of peace,
go forth through the Earth,
healing our world and bringing to birth vision to build and fashion a way:
the fullness of life for God’s people today.
