Pursuing Peace

orchidee



Tune: Gott Ein Vater

(one tune to 'Faithful vigil ended')

**********

Lord help me (us) to bring peace

And cause strivings cease

To do what we can, see

Promote harmony

 

Fears and stresses be gone

Praeyr and praise be done

Seeking your peace to bring

Unto everything

 

Calm our anger, fretful

We may be, but all

In your plans are working

You our Lord and King

 

Comfort and restoring

On your healing wing

You do bring, and forgive

Us, so we shall live

 

Where there be confusion

Deceit, delusion

Bring your truth, clarity

That we all plain see

            I am sorry to say this, but as long as there have been humans there have been wars. Hard for me to drum up much optimism. Good work though.

            • orchidee

              Thanks Dan. Yes, always been wars. That's the trouble - human greed, selfishness, fightings, etc.

              Very true words Orchi, we need peace to be brought to this world.
