Stan’s Corner, Tuesday, August 16

In Pastor Ricki’s sermon last Sunday, she quoted a popular song, “From a Distance:”  There’s a good message here:

From a Distance, by Julie Gold

From a distance the world looks blue and green,

and the snow capped mountains white.

From a distance the ocean meets the stream

and the eagle takes to flight.

 

From a distance there is harmony

and it echoes through the land

It’s the voice of Hope!

It’s the voice of Peace!

It’s the voice of every man!

 

From a distance we all have enough

and no one is in need;

And there are no guns!

no bombs! and no disease!

no hungry mouths to feed!

 

From a distance…

we are instruments

marching in a common band,

playing songs of Hope,

playing songs of Peace.

They’re the songs of every man!

 

God is watching us

God is watching us

from a distance…

 

From a distance you look like my friend

even though we are at war!

From a distance I just cannot comprehend

what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony

and it echoes through the land.

And it’s the Hope of hopes.

it’s the Love of love.

it’s the Heart of every man.

 

God is watching us.

God is watching us

from a distance…
