A Melody Called Peace. Scott Johnson
displaying wisdom,
and does it with a flair.
His power, strength and freedom,
represents our great land.
This majestic bird, a symbol,
to live in peace, as a band.
The eagle and I extend peace,
to all the world.
With love in our hearts,
for all to understand.
Eternal Peace
By Bonnie Collins, from Middletown New York
Somewhere between Heaven and Hell
the tides rode ashore and called my name
Answering, with only gigantic waves rushing
against the rocks thrashing with torrid winds
of rage, I stood there helplessly
Pleading with all my might for you to take
me from this island of hell, take me to
to where torture, tears and fright no longer
have an existence
Blowing away fading as far as I could see,
the calmness rushed in, along with the blackened
sea turning to a hue of eternal blue skies
with a soft effervescing of an eternal peace……..
Feeling of Peace
By Margaret Alice, from South Africa
Feeling the familiar comfort of
mystery words flashing in front
of me, safely ensconced in the
magic of the theories contained
therein
My existential angst subsides, my
fear of life’s incomprehensible
duties nullified, my fear of trying
to do things I cannot, is ebbing
away
Only the feeling of peace
and comfort stay…
God's Peace
By Bob Gotti, from New Jersey, U.S
There is a peace available, in troubled times, but not to all, A peace available all the time, greater than peace of mind, And this peace goes everywhere, to handle every tiny care, But it has no limits to, the problems it can see you through.
The peace that I’m speaking of, will only come from above, Peace God gives to His own, flowing down from His throne, The peace of God all receive, when by faith they do believe, The Gospel Truth of His Son, Christ, who died for everyone.
Though He died, now He lives, as this peace to us He gives, Sent to believers in this life, to shelter them from daily strife, The Holy Spirit is God’s agent, in whom God’s peace is sent, The Spirit is our true comforter, giving us peace in trials sore.
This peace for us is secured, by the work done by The Lord, And the only part left for us, is to place in The Lord our trust,
Then with a loving nod, Christ sends to us the peace of God, A peace into a believer’s heart, that from God will not depart.
Peace always there for those, keeping eyes on He who rose, Who gave to them a new life, centered in the peace of Christ, This as that believer lives, through the Spirit that Christ gives,
Providing them God’s peace, in their heart that will not cease.
Great Peace
By Bernice Hooks, from U.S, California
Peace is making your calling and election sure;
Enjoying the fruits of the Holy Spirit you will endure;
Fruits such as love, joy, peace and patience against which there is no
law;
Peace is friendship with the Savior and before Him bow;
Great peace is promised to those who love God's law;
And being offended at nothing is nice because;
Peace is not worrying about anything;
Your trust is in God and you love to sing:
Glory to God in the highest and on earth good will toward men;
Peace is a gift from God our Father when you allow Jesus to come in.
One Person Cannot Bring Peace
By Francis Duggan
One person cannot bring peace to our World but when millions of good people unite
And march for peace in every village, town and city the war inclined may see some light
Beyond the darkness that surrounds them and through the windows of their soul
The light of change may even penetrate we can change others by thought control.
Gandhi brought great change through nonviolence no g reater power than people power
Divided good people are defeated and their flower of peace is a wilting flower
But united we can bring about change as peace never comes through the gun
The dead never hear the birds singing at the going down of the sun
Refugee camps all over the World are crowded with war refugees
Billions are spent on war weaponry and little on poverty and disease
In the news each day we hear of violence and too much of war and terror we hear
The war men with their war on terror have found new ways of spreading fear.
Amongst the fearful population who believe everything that they say
We lose our own sense of direction when respect to such people we pay
You show some people a flowering garden they only see weeds and decay
And any hope of peace will keep on fading as long as the negative have things their own way.
Oh Prince of Peace
By Mary M. Coughlin, from Florida, U.S
Gentle Lord, Oh Prince of Peace,
Grant that soon all wars will cease.
Listen to the children crying.
Listen to the grown folks sighing.
All around the world ther's groaning
Longing for those lost they're moaning.
Gentle Lord, Oh Prince of Peace,
Grant that soon all wars will cease.
Soften all the hearts of men,
Whom all the world they'd gladly pen
Within their walls and do not care
How many hands are wrung in deep despair.
Gentle Lord, Oh Prince of Peace,
Grant that soon all wars will cease.
Make the warriors throughout creation
Lay down their arms in every nation
Promising to live in loving peace;
Letting joy
