Tune: The Supreme Sacrifice
('O valiant hearts')
Romans 5 v.6 -11 parts
******
Peace, can it come to such a world as this?
Be possible to restore Eden's bliss
Before man sinned, and then brought in the Fall?
Christ has made a way, salvation for all
For when we were without strength, at right time
Christ died for the ungodly in life's rhyme
For hardly for a righteous man will one
Die, or for a good man, yet Christ God's Son
Yet through Christ, God His love to us commends
His Son to us redeem, sure He Him sends
'Tis in this, that while we were e'en sinners
Christ died for us, atonement us confers
For in remembering offerings, sacrifice
At this season, most of all Christ sufficed
His life, the holy one, for sinners gave
To bring us to God, reconcile and save

in a world still hell bent on warring ..
I doubt there will ever be world peace .. it makes a mockery of so many historical sacrifices .. sadly ..
Thanks N. Yet we can hope each one did make some difference, small or great.
I don't help promote peace, when fighting with KP. Doh! I'm a 🦨. lol.
There is much about the romanticization of armed conflict throughout human history that has added the the possibility of peace. And true peace is beyond those that cry, "peace! Peace!" nor will there ever be is the cross that humanity shall forever bear. Thanks for making us ponder our ways.
Thanks CB.
