Today in our prayers for the people of Paraguay.
Prayer for Peace
Lu Mountenay
Lord,
You made it so clear. Why do we doubt?
He came as the demonstrator
He was the model
He stood as the example
Christ was born for this
Christ was born for this
We have no excuse to fail peace
He walked as the teacher
He fulfilled the law
He came as a child and showed us the kingdom
Christ was born for this
Christ was born for this
Don’t turn the children away, don’t turn peace away
He reveals peace
He illumines harmony
He rejoices in the absence of war
Christ was born for this
Christ was born for this
Reflect our faces in our enemies, so we will not strike
Let the light of Christ take the place of hate
Let his love replace fear
Let our trust in him lead us to that peaceful place
Christ was born for this
Christ was born for this
Let peace be born for all. Amen.
