A sacred hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace & text by Mark R. Fotheringham.   YouTube video: A World in Turmoil

Text:

As a world in turmoil cries for peace, while it suffers the conflicts of men,
There is calm and comfort to be found in Zion’s peaceful glen.
The gospel is a cooling breeze in the heat of summer’s day,
Encouraging each wayward soul to find a better way.

When a soul in anger strikes a blow or in vengeance he sows vile discord,
Know The Spirit cannot there abide; ‘tis grievous to The Lord.
Forgiveness is the way of God, and His healing balm assures
As you forgive each man his sins, The Lord will forgive yours.

Looking unto Christ in ev’ry thought, looking to Him in word and in deed,
We will find in Him a lasting peace to fill our deepest need.
No man can be an enemy, and all war and conflict end

When like The Christ we see each man, a brother and a friend.
