Liturgy for Peace.
(To be read alone or in a group)
*Be still, restless heart,
Though conflict rages all around,
Be at peace.
May the swords in my soul
Be the artwork of Your hands, as
You fashion them into plowshares.
O come O come, Immanuel, Prince of Peace.
In Your presence, it is well
With my soul.
*Be at peace, wandering mind.
May the storms of my thoughts,
Find calm,
Still waters,
Gentle breeze.
Jesus, peace of my wandering mind.
O come O come, Immanuel, Prince of Peace.
In Your presence, it is well
With my soul.
*Be, live, move in Your rhythm, Spirit.
Holy, gentle breath of life, a gift amidst the noise.
In You I am upheld,
Hidden,
Found.
Spirit, peace in my chaos.
O come O come, Immanuel, Prince of Peace.
In Your presence, it is well
With my soul.
*Immanuel, God with us.
Presence and peace without end.
May my heart know transcendent and
Intimate shalom, mercifully untethered
From earthly grip.
Onward, as one, in peace and union.
O come O come, Immanuel, Prince of Peace.
In Your presence, it is well
With my soul.
