River Of Peace

<p>She was a gorgeous little girl<br/>Only ten years old<br/>With her mother&#x27;s smile and her father’s eyes<br/>And she was taken way too soon<br/>A life so full of promise, full of hope<br/>But never realized<br/>And I raise my fist in anger<br/>And wonder why You take the tender hearts<br/>And leave the rest of us behind<br/><br/>Ours is not to question why<br/>Ours is just to live and try<br/>To settle for the answer<br/>Whatever it might be<br/>Until we see You face to face<br/>In another time and place<br/>Where the river of Your peace runs free<br/>Now thirty years have come and gone<br/>Since his country shipped him home<br/>With a silver star and a broken heart<br/>More than his innocence was lost<br/>To a complicated war<br/>His baby brother didn&#x27;t make it back at all<br/>And each night in silent anger<br/>He tries to understand the sacrifice<br/>And each night, he falls apart<br/><br/>Ours is not to question why<br/>Ours is just to live and try<br/>To settle for the answer<br/>Whatever it might be<br/>Until we see You face to face<br/>In another time and place<br/>Where the river of Your peace runs free<br/><br/>You said we&#x27;re all Your precious children<br/>But I must admit, sometimes we feel so small<br/>We wonder if You’re there<br/>Or if You really care at all<br/><br/>Until we see You face to face<br/>In another time and place<br/>Where the river of Your peace runs free<br/>Where the river of Your peace runs free
