Stand up for peace

While on a diplomatic mission in Iraq, this writer practices peace.

Maya Dietz

In Thee, O Spirit
true and tender,
I find my life as 
God’s own child;
Within Thy light of 
glorious splendor
I lose the earth-clouds 
drear and wild.

Within Thy love is 
safe abiding
From every thought 
that giveth fear;
Within Thy truth a 
perfect chiding,
Should I forget that 
Thou art near.

In Thee I have no pain 
or sorrow,
No anxious thought, 
no load of care.
Thou art the same today, tomorrow;
Thy love and truth are everywhere.
