Hands Of Christ
In autumn haze the country lies
shrouded by her veil of ice
where weather-tired inhabitants
straying from their common sense
abide the looming of their fate
wrought by the enemy of state
Following our Halloween
Christmas time did always mean
the returning of the light
to fill the darkness of our night
illustrating where we stand
help us make our peace and mend
Now midwinter's drawing near
magnifying people's fear
as they hear the dogs of war
homeless flee from near and far
Will the light be strong enough
to call the insurrection's bluff?
The candle on your window sill
be a symbol of God's will
You may pray for thunderbolts
to put the looming ill on hold
though that will never be unless
you will to clear away the mess
You are God's hands, he has no more
to put an end to cruel war
So turn into a light yourself
Take the candle from that shelf
walk ye out into the night
to be yourself
a star
so bright
