What would Jesus do in Palestine?
He was born there, after all
What would he teach as we reach Christmastime,
with bombs continuing to fall?
Everybody knows that
Muslims are God’s children, too
We must make the planet right
Children of God –
Christian, Muslim and Jew
deserve to sleep in peace tonight
We pray that peace is on its way
We’ll stop the flow of weapons
from the USA!
And every mother’s child
is gonna live
And someday everyone
will come to forgive
And so,
we’re offering this simple prayer
to folks of every faith and view:
May you be blessed
with all kindness and care
and may peace be with you!
