Peace Be Still

This public health crisis, this pandemic, is beyond our control

Lives are at risk all around the world

May the best in each of us, fiercely protect the other

Peace be still, may your peace steady our hearts this day

May we walk by faith, through this valley and shadowed pathway

May we not project our fears upon one another

May not fear, nor our self-interest, contribute to the suffering of another

Peace be still, may your peace steady our hearts this day

Guide us our Creator and keep us close

May all humanity, be assured of your love

Receive unto yourself all who are taken from our midst

May we release our panic and find your peace in this storm

Peace be still, may the peace of Christ steady our hearts this day
