Listen

How beautfiul is a world

in which there is so much suffering

so much sorrow

and yet children still smile

how preacious the beauty

of the simple flower

in a field of destruction

Listen to the music, the laughter

in the rain,

even in the midts of starvation and death

songs of the heart are heard

in bitter words there is kindness

in haunted eyes there is light

in sorrow weeping there is Joy

in a heart breaking there is life

never stop listening

never stop looking

never stop seeing

God in every man, woman, and child,

in every breath spoken, every word uttered

there is life, God's life

listen and you will hear His music in every heart

His light in every eye

His song in every mouth

because Jesus is Lord

all else doesn't matter, not compared to Jesus our Lord.

His is the light of our eyes and the song in our mouth

His is the world that we see, the words that we speak

His is the power to make all things new

and His is the power to reveal Himself in the midsts

of chaos.

When He is revealed, the chaos changes to order. Because He is there

and where the Lord is, there is freedom.

Let us rejoice!
