Cease Fire, a Christmas Song
By Keith Haugen
Not far from where the Christ Child lay Men are killing men today While we talk of peace on earth, goodwill to men Bombs and rockets light the sky Where angels once sang on high And we supply the weapons that spell their bloody end.
If you listen, you can still hear the angels It matters not where you may be You might even hear God's own voice commanding: "Cease Fire! Let My people be."
Somewhere on this blessed earth There's been trouble since before His birth Men cried out, but we ignored their pleas. But when it's Christmas everywhere We raise our voice in common prayer For an end to war, for everlasting peace.
If you listen, you can still hear the angels It matters not where you may be You might even hear God's own voice commanding: "Cease Fire! Set My people free."
So listen, leaders of every land It's time to stop and take a stand Peace and love are gifts that you should give If dreams of peace should now come true The world will send it's thanks to you Cease Fire! Let all God's children live.
If you listen, you can still hear the angels It matters not where you may be You might even hear God's own voice commanding: "Cease Fire! Come celebrate with me."
