MOVEMENT VIII - PEACE
Paul McCartney


 Shanty
And so it was that you were born
Into this world one winter morning,
With a childish innocence you smiled at me
And I was born again.

Non nobis solum
Sed toti mundo

Men?s chorus
God is good
And he will be our savior,
All we need
Is in his power to give us.
Let the light that lies within
His heart
Illuminate our being.

Full chorus
God is good
And with this thought to guide us
We will live
In joyful contemplation.
Let the love that lives within your heart
Illuminate your being.

Preacher
What people want is a family life,
The strength of a home and a moat round the castle.
Pull up the drawbridge,
Staying at home with the family.

All people want is a family life,
Sometimes they find that it isn?t so easy.
People can argue,
Life can be hard on a family.

Basses
Mum?s in the kitchen, she won?t speak to dad.

Altos
Uncle?s ashamed of the good time he had.

Tenors
Brothers and sisters are lifting the roof
With the music they play all night.

Preacher
But people still want a family life,
Nothing replaces the love and affection.
Pull up the drawbridge
Tempers are frayed, but it?s like that.

Altos
Don?t be dismayed if it?s like that.

Basses
Like that.

Preacher
You?re not obeyed but you like that -family life.

Boys and altos
God is good.
In him we?ll live for ever,
Satisfied
Inside his grace and glory,

Full chorus
Safe and sound
In his eternal love
We have found salvation.

From day to day throughout our lives.
