Duchess Susanna writes: With a lot of bad, sad news in the headlines, I wanted to find a hopeful song. The video above shows the Eugene Peace Choir, from Oregon, performing “Peace Is” by Fred Small.

If you want to sing the song, yourself, you can find the lyrics in Rise Up Singing, on page 163. A sample of the lyrics:

“Peace is the bread we break
Love is the river rolling…”

“Many years ago I heard a soldier say
‘When people want peace, better get out of the way!”
