A Hope For Love and Peace
A Hope for Love and Peace
(to tune of “Chariots of Fire”)
Verse 1:
A hope for my nation – a great hope I have.
A hope for this planet – a hope for us all.
Verse 2:
May peace like white snow with a soft satin glow
(this peace filled with God’s light) upon us all fall.
Refrain:
We pray, but our words -will they be heard?
We pray to the Lord above.
We pray, but our words will be in vain
unless we show love.
We all have our faults, but a kind heart
can generate love’s light.
When love fills our hearts, we’ll realize
that peace is the prize!
Verse 3:
A hope burning brightly like sun in the sky.
This hope for all nations – may it fill each soul.
Verse 4:
We need to be thankful and turn back to God,
so He can then heal us, making us whole.
Repeat Refrain:
We pray, but our words -will they be heard?
We pray to the Lord above.
We pray, but our words will be in vain
unless we show love.
We all have our faults, but a kind heart
can generate love’s light.
When love fills our hearts, we’ll realize
that peace is the prize!
Repeat Verses 1 and 2:
A hope for my nation – a great hope I have.
A hope for this planet – a hope for us all.
May peace like white snow with a soft satin glow
(this peace filled with God’s light) upon us all fall.
Fade out with last phrase repeated at least four times:
Upon us all fall
upon us all fall, etc.
