Epiphany // Week 9 // Jan. 28 - Feb. 3

We cry peace, peace, peace for the storms surround us

Peace, peace, peace for the fears that haunt us

Peace, peace, peace, God, we are perishing!

We cry peace, peace, peace for there is no peace

Oh hold, hold your arms around this tilting planet

Hold, hold your arms around the wounds of this world

Hold, hold your arms around your people, all of us,

Hold, hold your arms around the world

We cry peace, peace, peace — but there is no justice

Peace, peace, peace —- but some have more than others

Peace, peace, peace —- but there are hungry bellies

We cry peace, peace, peace — but there is no peace

Oh hold, hold Your arms around this tilting planet

Hold, hold Your arms around the wounds of this world

Hold, hold Your arms around Your people, all of us,

Hold, hold Your arms around the world

May we see the wounds within, around us truthfully

May we take the time and care they need to heal

Then bring our hammers and our hearts

A time for ends, a time for starts

Show us what to build and what to tear down to the ground

Peace, peace, peace, may our minds be set on it

Peace, peace, peace, may our fears make way for it

Peace, peace, peace, lay our weapons down for it

Peace, peace, peace, may we join in building it

Oh hold, hold Your arms around this tilting planet

Hold, hold Your arms around the wounds of this world

Hold, hold Your arms around Your people, all of us,

Hold, hold Your arms around the world
