God of Love, God of Peace

God of Love, God of Peace,

This fractured word

Cries out in pain,

Burns deep into my soul,

And challenges me,

To make a difference.

God of Love,

God of Peace,

God of this world,

Scarred by grief and tears,

Ignorance and fear,

Soften hearts of stone,

And begin with mine.

God of Love,

God of Peace,

Create within me,

A heart for people,

A desire for change,

For new beginnings to start this day.
