On this night of falling bombs and broken treaties
this night of pain and suffering
in ways and parts of the world I can hardly imagine
I believe in peace.
On this night of broken dreams and falling stars
this night of a Messiah come…and lost
to a world unwilling or unable to listen
I believe in peace.
On this night, I have heard angels singing
and watched the hush ebb and flow
‘round the face of a child
within this sanctuary, this grace of fellowship
I believe in peace.
On this night, let the sounds of our celebration
woven from the dreams of shepherds and kings,
carry our united voices,
to every darkened corner.
I believe in peace.
