St Margaret's Chapel

There is a stillness in the air
Feather gently floating
A warmth of rose and lavender
Wrapped up in this scent
A candle, now lit, reaching out
A light to lift eyes and spirit
To the sky ringing above the bell
And gladness fills the heart
Hope is now a chalice full
Of quiet angels




Is this it

Is this it?
Is this where we find some middle ground?
A place to feed
Not on prejudice and greed
But to share, face to face
Our wealth around
A token, a portion, a weight
How much for love, hope and faith?
It's a small heart indeed
Who turns from the need
To sit down and sort out this place

Is this where we find
A place to hear
Not to argue or bicker or lie
But to talk and find out why
Far too many of us live in fear
Is this where we find some middle ground?
A place to lay the foundations down
For a humankind who are no longer
Full of hate, anger and hunger
Is this the place?
Are we welcome here?

Will we leave behind our superstitious fear
And open our hearts to find a way to sit down
And settle on some middle ground
Is this it?



International Peace Day

Smile, It's International Peace Day :)

Humanity is not a state of war but a state of peace.
Peace is not a human luxury but a human necessity.

Mercy

'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' (From the Call of Matthew)

The Call

The breeze lifts on the lake
And the leaves do not hesitate
To echo the call
Trembling breath

I am on the mountain
And the flags are praying
And the breeze is saying
Find this love
Open your heart
And I lift my life to the sky
And catch the light of the world in my eyes
The key is always in me
With all my love
With all my love

If you have forgotten, I will find

If you are uncertain, I will reassure
If you are sad, I will comfort
With all my love
With all my love


The breeze lifts on the lake
And the leaves do not hesitate
To echo the call
Trembling breath

Peace is a hope you can fill your heart with
So there's no room for violence, hate and anger

Peace is a feeling you can share with everyone
All it takes is a happy, loving and honest attitude

Peace is a gift I would love to give to you
But I will need your help to build a world
Where we can celebrate peace every day
Until then

Peace is a smile you can wear for me
On World Peace Day
