I heard the bells on christmas day, there old familiar carols play, and mild and sweet their songs repeat, of peace on earth goodwill to man
And the bells are ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir there singing (peace on earth)
In my heart I hear them (peace on earth-ohh)
Peace on earth good will to man
And in despair I bow my head; "There is no peace on earth" I said "for hate is strong and mocks the song" of peace on earth goodwill to man
But the bells are ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir singing (peace on earth)
Does anybody hear them? (peace on earth -ohh)
Peace on earth goodwill to man
Then rang the bells more loud and deep; God is not dead nor does he sleep
(Peace on earth, peace on earth)
The wrong shall fail the right prevail; with peace on earth goodwill to man
(Goodwill to man)
Then ringing singing on it's way, the world revolved from night to day a voice, a chime, a chain sublime, with peace on earth goodwill to man
And the bells they're ringing (peace on earth)
Like a choir singing (peace on earth)
With our hearts will hear them (peace on earth -ohh)
Peace on earth goodwill to man
Do you hear the bells they're ringing (peace on earth)
Like an angel singing (peace on earth)
Open up your hearts and hear them (peace on earth goodwill to man)
Peace on earth, Peace on earth
Peace on earth, goodwill to man [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/casting_crowns/i_heard_the_bells_on_christmas_day.html ]
This is march7,2012. Five days after my family took refuge in our church to escape the tornados that struck our area. Even though we were spared, as i sat feeling comfort, this song played over and over in my mind. Man is failing in our compassion for those in desperate need. Jesus is the way. Thank you

It is god speaking through your heart, through this song. Powerful, rightous, and pure. Thank you casting crowns.

If we open up our hearts we, too, can hear god calling us to live in peace with him while we wait for him. He is just a voice away.

For god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (john 3:16 nkjv)

Jesus died that we should all live in peace and unity, but there is only war and selfish living.
