Christmas Song Lyrics, Day 3

Driving with my dad I heard this song on the radio for the first time yesterday.

I had to look it up, and knew I had to write about it:

Feel the majesty of what He came to be

See the beauty of the children He adores
Feel Him hold you when you stand at sorrow’s door
Hear Him whispering what He knows you’ll be
This is peace on earth; this is peace on earth to me

I’m not saying that we don’t have a long ways to go
To worldwide brotherhood that binds us here below
But look at all the heaven here that hints at what’s above
Look at all the simple things we change with love

Feel the smile that comes when a good friend thinks to call
Hear “I love you” when it echoes in your halls
And wonder just how much more blessed your life could be
This is peace on earth; this is peace on earth to me

-Peace on Earth to Me, by Cherie Call

Powerful.

There are so many times when I see we (me, this world) "have a long ways to go" and I wish that we could already be at "worldwide brotherhood". Hearing this song reminded me of all that this world has that is good, "the heaven here that hints at what's above" and the "simple things we change with love".

Concrete reminders of things I can do to make a difference are always helpful and inspiring to me. I can be a friend who calls (or sends a text or a video message). I can say "I love you" in word and in deed. I can seek to better know my Savior and treat those around me as He would.

That is my commitment based on today's song: Be more like my Savior - spread love and grace.
