Pray For Peace
Album: A Woman of Faith
Words and music by Laura Hall © 2001
I wrote this right after 9/11 at the request of my choir director. We were feeling the need to respond to that event through prayer and song.
CHORUS
People all over the world, pray for peace, pray for peace
People all over the world, pray for peace, pray for peace
VERSE 1
We may voice our prayers in many different languages
We may call you Lord by many different names
But we know that your love for us
Is all the same, you love us all the same
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Your love knows no boundaries
Your love knows no divides
And where the light of your love shines bright
There will be no dark places for evil to hide
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Sometimes hate is easy, sometimes love is hard
Sometimes fear overtakes us
And peace seems so far away
Still we hope and pray
Expectantly awaiting the day
When love will rule the earth
When peace will overflow
When human kindness, and understanding
Will spill out on the streets in every corner of the globe
CHORUS
People all over the world, pray for peace, pray for peace
People all over the world, pray for peace, pray for peace
Pray for peace, pray for peace
