When will we see an end
of bloody battle, war?
Now some must fight, defend
and peace seek to restore.
Give thanks when battles cease,
remember all now scarred,
those who have died for peace
and those whose lives are marred.
Some injured, others find
so much they can’t forget
that festers, haunts their mind
and life seems grey and set.
Christ suffered malice when
nailed, scorned, the earth went dark
three hours. He sees the pain
where evil’s made its mark.
Remember then your debt
to those who bore such pain,
But may we not forget
Christ’s peace of heart to claim.
