TEXT
THE PROMISE OF PEACE
Laura Knight Cobb
Peace is a river, filled by God's own hand.
The Son's grace the current, her flow the Spirit's command.
Peace is a river filled by God's own hand.
She wanders through the valleys, rolling ripples into streams.
Her purpose to offer hope, rushing forth, she fills our dreams.
Each drop, a tumbling down, from the mountain way up high.
She's crying tears of joy for the promise – we can be the promise, we are the promise, of peace.
The river, she's a-calling, love to great to ever cease.
Got to rise up, claiming justice, hand in hand unite for peace.
We must come together with one vision, and one voice.
We must show compassion, for there is no other choice.
I've got peace, I've got peace like a river.
We can be the promise. You can be the promise.
She can be, he can be, we can be the promise of peace.
