**This is a poem/song that God has put on my heart to post/write regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for peace in the region. May all remember that God is for all people and that we cannot let walls of fear, ignorance, or hatred divide us. We are all God's children, no matter what we look like, where we come from, what we've done in the past or present, or what language we speak. All of us, precious to our creator, each unique and special and designed to glorify God with our lives in small (or big) unique ways. For all innocent victims, whether Israeli or Palestinian, of terrorist actions and violence, whose stories on earth were never fulfilled. For all children of Israel and Palestine, that they may see each other always in the similar light of Jesus Christ, and may come to know that just because a wall around the West Bank or blockade in the Gaza Strip separates them physically, they don't have to let it separate them in their hearts. Lord, show both countries, that with you, nothing can truly be impossible. God Bless Israel and Palestine!**
I hear children crying alone
Broken people, broken steeples, bullets breaking through stone
Lord, lead your people from darkness, into the light
You Lord, are King of all, and you allow the sun to rise on both the bad and the good
Let each sunrise be a reminder to your people of Israel and Palestine that each new sunrise signifies a new chance for friendship, prosperity, and peace
We cannot let fear divide us
The Holy Spirit unites, an enemy divides
Because he knows that together we have the potential to heal the wounds of the past
Together we are powerful, apart from each other and God, we can do nothing
We need each other, and it is time to look past the differences
It is time for peace
It is time to allow the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ to enter between the bitter divides that have been created by hatred, anger, strife, violence, and warfare
It is time for the walls, whether physical, mental, or spiritual to come down
