White Ribbon Day

I know I said I’d get my essay or whatever on love, robots, and free will, but that will have to wait. I’ve been struggling through more important topics.

White Ribbon Day by delirious? is an amazing song. It’s been in my head tonight, and the message of the gospel of peace is so clear in it. This song is likely too rockish for some people, so I’ll just post the lyrics. Don’t listen to it if you don’t like a beat at all. But as it is, I find the parallel between Britain’s White Ribbon Day (a day for peace), with all the war they have over there, and sinners experiencing peace with God so that they might enjoy Him forever. Hallelujah for White Ribbon Day!

How can it be that God is love,
When blood rolls down upon our land
And fathers lose their only son?
Where is the hope?
Oh God, we pray for white ribbon day.

How can it be that You could love,
When blood ran down that wooden cross?
Your Father gave His only Son
You came for peace
You came to die for white ribbon day.

And we pray for peace
To flood our hearts again.
Only God can save our nation now.
And we long for joy to fill our streets again.
Only God can save our nation now.

How can it be that God is just,
When flesh is torn from young and old
And children run in bloody fields?
Where is the hope?
Oh God, we pray for white ribbon day.

And we pray for peace
To flood our hearts again
Only God can save our nation now
And we long for joy to fill our streets again.
Only God can save our nation now

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah for white ribbon day!

And can it be that You are just,
When flesh was torn for young and old?
And here we stand saved by Your blood.
We’ll stand with courage,
We’ll live and die for white ribbon day.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah for white ribbon day!
