Like a CHOIR they're singing, Peace on Earth!

Our grandkids' church, Christmas musical
2014

"Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others - the armies of heaven - praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased." (Luke 2:13-14)


            After numerous rehearsals for a hundred wiggly, giggly youngsters, our grandkid's children's CHOIR gave a stellar performance (in this grandmother's opinion) of the Christmas musical, "The King is Coming;" and in that hour, the turmoil of the world fell quiet, and peace on earth was enjoyed by all.

Our grands holding the signs they made for the musical.

           Media screams, "There is no peace on earth, goodwill to men," but the Word of God sings promises of peace and goodwill for the children of the King:

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." (Jer. 29:11)

"Violence will disappear from your land; the desolation and destruction of war will end. Salvation will surround you like city walls, and praise will be on the lips of all who enter there." (Isa. 60:18)

"On that day the Lord will be King over all the earth. On that day there will be one Lord - His name alone will be worshiped...On that day even the harness bells of the horses will be inscribed with these words: Holy to the Lord." (Zec.14:8,20)

Hear the bells, beloved?

And the bells are ringing

Peace on earth

Like a CHOIR they're singing

Peace on earth

And in despair I bowed my head

There is no peace on earth I said

For hate is strong and mocks the song

Of peace on earth, goodwill to men

Then rang the bells more loud and deep

God is not dead, nor doth He sleep

Peace on earth, peace on earth

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail

With peace on earth, goodwill to men

Do you hear the bells, they're ringing?

Peace on earth

The life the angels singing

Peace on earth

Open up your heart and hear them

Peace on earth

Peace on earth, good will to men 1

"Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at the gate, waiting for me...for whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But those who miss me injure themselves..." (Prov. 8:34-36)
