movement viii - peace

and so it was that you were born

into this world one winter morning

with a childish innocence you smiled at me

and i was born again. non nobis solum

sed toti mundo

nati

mundo nati. toti mundo nati. god is good

and he will be our savior

all we need

is in his power to give us. let the light that lies within

his heart

illuminate our being. god is good

and with this thought to guide us

we will live

in joyful contemplation. let the love that lives within your heart

illuminate your being. what people want is a family life

the strength of a home and a moat round the castle. pull up the drawbridge

staying at home with the family. all people want is a family life

sometimes they find that it isn't so easy. people can argue

life can be hard on a family. mum's in the kitchen

she won't speak to dad. uncle's ashamed of the good time he had. brothers and sisters are lifting the roof

with the music they play all night. but people still want a family life

nothing replaces the love and affection. pull up the drawbridge

tempers are frayed

but it's like that. don't be dismayed if it's like that. like that. you're not obeyed but you like that -family life. god is good. in him we'll live for ever

satisfied

inside his grace and glory

safe and sound

in his eternal love

we have found salvation. dad's in the garden

he won't speak to m

mother. uncle's in bed with a pain in his. the devil is evil

and god is good. the devil is evil

with a d. and god is good

without an o. god is good without an o. 0. and so we are grateful for harmony

for we will be faithful

eternally. god is good

the universal savior. trust in him

to lead us through the darkness. live in love and when the battle's won

live in peace. live in peace. live in peace for ever. live in peace. all live in peace together. so on and on the story goes

from day to day throughout our lives. what can we do

that's how it grows. i am with you

our love survives.
