Peace, Peace, Peace
the angels proclaimed
Words of God to
sons of men
lowly shepherds watching fleeced flocks
upon Bethlehem’s bread bought hills by night
God’s glory glowed around
Peace, Peace, Peace
the angels proclaimed
between God and man
between men and Maker
here must first begin
before liberty’s lantern lifts again,
as a mother is agonized with birth
afterward forgets the pain
for the joy of a child gained
for Ichabod has conveyed his calling card
Peace Peace Peace
the angels proclaimed
yet remains
“Abide in Me”
security in the home, marriage, pocket
harmony of lives lived nearby
wholeness of body
soundness of mind
Peace in this life and
Peace at death
Peace for today
and Peace for tomorrow
Peace for you
and Peace for your children
Peace, Peace, Peace
the angels proclaimed
the Babe, born for us, the Son of God, the One and Only Prince of Peace
available to all, to any person, to any nation
who calls out this prayer
“Help me Jesus! Help me!”
Peace Peace Peace
“Peace I leave you,
My peace I give you;
not as the world gives,
do I give to you.
do not let your hearts be troubled
nor in fear”
(Luke 2:14; Isaiah 9:6; 1Samuel 4:21; John 14:27)
