HOPE OF PEACE

Snippet

“While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to 

have it even more fully in your heart.” ― St. Francis of Assisi

Scripture

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,

that I live among the tents of Kedar!

Too long have I lived

 among those who hate peace.

 I am for peace;

 but when I speak, they are for war.  Psalms 120: 5-7

There is a love hidden inside your borders

Just waiting to be free, just waiting to be free.

There is a hope hidden inside your borders

Just waiting to be realized, just waiting to be realized.

So keep hoping Saint Francis, you'll be a free man yet,

You'll see the sun shine again over your city streets.

There is a love hidden inside your borders

Just waiting to be free, just waiting to be free.

There is a hope hidden inside your borders

Just waiting to be realized, just waiting to be realized.

So keep hoping Saint Francis, you'll be a free man yet,

You'll see the sun shine again over your city streets.

Keep hoping Saint Francis, you'll be a free man yet.

Though darkness covers your sleeping love, it won't last.

Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength,

I know, those who wait upon the Lord will not be put to shame.

Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength,

I know, I know, those who wait upon the Lord will not 

be put to shame.

And so we wait, so we wait for the sun to shine.

And so we wait, so we wait for You to come.

Keep hoping Saint Francis, you'll be a free man yet,

You'll see the sun shine again over your city streets.

Sentence Prayer

“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love,

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console,

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” 

― St. Francis of Assisi
