"Peace"
That which lies alone and suffering
Is that which feels the most alone
The ones that get kicked around and beaten up
And the ones that get blamed for everything
The children with dirty faces and hands
The ones left holding the bag
How many times I have comforted you
And left you undestroyed
I never will forsake this hope
It's underneath the stair
Like a velvet envelope of promises
All undercut and bruised
I'll take you out and take you up
And see you find something good
I believe in mercy and forgiveness
And that which looks not for help
All hope is crushed the day of death
All memory forgotten
There is no turning back from it
And no one there to comfort
If you could find some help in it
Then you could save the world
It's the choices, the choices we make
That determines beauty from tragedy
Those children which feel casten out
Are those that need to be held
And that which is most forsaken
Is that which most needs a hug
When sorrow is on the faces of all
I'm sorry I was born
All sorrow hangs heavy on my heart
And weariness upon my shoulders
May Peace come in and find you there
May you find peace
May there be an end to the senseless suffering
And the abuse of all people
May there be Peace at last
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
