Russia invades Ukraine, threatens The West

[Eric the Green]

Gert van Hoef plays a prayer for peace, and for an end to the injustice, inequity and evil in Ukraine, and his tribute to the war's victims. We can translate his belief in the Lord as our inner knowledge of the universal, perfect aspect of our being as the moral universe, in which the arc is long but it bends toward justice.

"Give Peace, Lord, Give Peace"


1 Give peace, Lord, give peace,
the world just wants to fight.
Though justice is confessed,
the strongest wins the argument.
Injustice reigns on earth,
the lie triumphs,
debunks every value,
o save our mighty Lord.
2 Give peace, Lord, give peace,
the earth waits so long,
there is so much suffering,
the people are so scared,
the future is so dark
and our faith so small;
o Jesus Christ, listen
and don't leave us alone!
3 Give peace, Lord, give peace,
Thou who art the peace,
who suffered for us,
fought our battle,
so that we might live
freed from fear and pain,
make people happy
and be peacemakers.
4 Give peace, Lord, give peace,
convert our fierce hearts.
Share your love with us,
that defies our anger,
that teaches our mouth to speak
and guide our hands.
Make us a living sign:
your peace wins the battle!
