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.
