Peace Child

Peace Child
In the sleep of the night
In the dark before light
You come
In the silence of stars
In the violence of wars--
Savior, your name

Peace Child
To the road and the storm
To the gun and the bomb
You come
Through the hate and the hurt

Through the hunger and dirt--
Bearing a dream

Peace Child
To our dark and our sleep
To the conflict we reap
Now come--
Be your dream born alive
Held in hope, wrapped in love:
God's true shalom
