Peace Is Here
Little children, born to chaos, sojourn by the stars appear,
Though your fears wrap all around you, love has come and peace is here.
Men to men, in violent rapture,
Wars lay sons in fields unknown,
Hope to quell the disappointment,
Justice born and mercy shown,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here.
Angels sing in righteous envy,
Kings of Earth kneel by the throne,
Born to push against the fall, as far as the curse is found.
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Peace is here, peace is here.
Na, na, na-na-na-na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na,
Na, na, na-na-na-na, na.
Gloria, Gloria, (peace is here)
Gloria, Gloria, peace is here,
Peace is here, peace is here.

one-liners
We do not want joy and anger to neutralize each other and produce a surly contentment; we want a fiercer delight and a fiercer discontent. We have to feel the universe at once as an ogre’s castle, to be stormed, and yet as our own cottage, to which we can return at evening. ~ G.K. Chesteron
(ok, so that was more than one line.)
Excerpts from The Praying Life
Imbedded in the idea of prayer is a richly textured view of the world where all of life is organized around invisible bonds or covenants that knit us together. Instead of a fixed world, we live in our Father’s world, a world built for divine relationships between people where, because of the Good News, tragedies become comedies and hope is born.
~ Paul E. Miller (p 217)
Trust thou thy joys
Trust thou thy joys in keeping of the Power who holds these changing shadows in His hand; Believe and live, and know that hour by hour will ripple newer beauty to thy strand.
~ Thomas Wentworth Higginson

Both are just as real.

You are the God of the early mornings
You are the God of the early mornings, the God of the late at nights, the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the sea; but, my God, my soul has further horizons than the early mornings, deeper darkness than the nights of the earth, higher peaks than any mountain peaks, greater depths than any sea in nature – You Who are God of all these, be my God. I cannot reach to the heights or to the depths, there are motives I cannot trace, dreams I cannot get at – My God, search me out.
~ Oswald Chambers
