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
