The promise of the east
by
M A Heathcote
Peace is like a radiant star
Shining so distant and ever so far
Light a candle in your heart
Through the wastelands of the dark
You’re forever in its light
Like an arrow pierces the night
It’s a shepherd’s lonely fight
To be righteous and be right
Like the lamb against the beast
A blazing star shines for peace
And it’s shining there for you
Like the frozen morning dew
Like the wise men heading east (chorus)
It’s in your heart to find peace
It’s in your heart to find peace
It’s in your heart to be released
To find the promise of the east!
Oh rare in wonder
Loud as thunder
Light a candle in your heart
Through its glory pierce the dark
Like a white dove
You must find love
In your heart
Peace and glory
What a story
Is your soul
Is your soul (chorus)
