Earlier this semester, I wrote a song for each week of Advent. My friends at Canowan in Austin invited me to their church to record video sessions of them as a part of a series of Christmas song videos they're making. We'll sing one of these each week during Advent, and I'll be posting the videos here. If you want to check out some of the other songs my friends recorded for this project, they'll be posting four songs each week of this month here.
This song is called "Change Everything," and it was written for the Peace week. If you have any questions, email me at jamie@ubcwaco.org
Lyrics:
When will the night be turned to day
when will our torches find their Flame
when will our eyes have Light to see
o God, bring peace
when will our weapons have no place
when will our violence be replaced
when will our safety be complete
o God, bring peace
o God, if You could change everything
would it be a King or a new way to breathe
neither, or both, o God could it be
something we'd never conceive
when will our worry be dissolved
when will our anxious thoughts be lost
when will our minds be put at ease
o God, bring peace
o God, if You could change everything
would it be a King or a new way to breathe
neither, or both, o God could it be
something we'd never conceive
when will our cells maintain their shape
when will our bodies cease to fade
when will our dying taste defeat
o God, bring peace
