A Christmas Yearning for Peace
From Australia
Why is it so hard
For man to live in peace?
Christmas is a time of hope and prayer,
It’s time for conflict to cease.
Who is right and who is wrong?
Does it matter any more?
For over two thousand years,
Warring nations have kept a senseless score.
The innocence of a new-born babe
Born in Bethlehem to save a nation.
The star shone brightly, the wise men bowed,
And Salvation became God’s creation.
A simple tale for all to hear
A decree to ’Love thy neighbour’,
The birth of baby Jesus brought hope for all
To cast out sin through a blessed Saviour.
Why is it so hard
For man to live in peace?
Christmas is a time of hope and prayer,
It’s time for conflict to cease.
