THE SEARCH FOR PEACE

From he time of man’s beginning
he’s been looking without cease,
through times of war and hatred
ever in the search for peace.

Many a peace pact has been signed
many a compromise,
but so many hurts and grudges
keep them from the final prize.

No earthly means can bring about
for what mankind’s hearts do yearn,
for there’s one very special message
they have yet began to learn.

The Prince of Peace so long ago
to all men did impart,
to love Him and our neighbour
will bring peace into our hearts.

For that is where it must begin
deep down within each man,
and peace will come unto the earth
it is the Master’s Plan.
