“One by one, we will call for a ceasefire. One by one we will fight for a better end. One by one, we will rewrite the headlines. Standing side by side. One by one, love is building an empire. One by once, reaching out to our enemies. One by one, we will make it to the finish line. Standing side by side. Ceasefire!”
These are some of the most trying times most of us have ever been in. While it seems that things are getting better the future is still unsure and it is terrifying to think about what is to come. There is a pandemic, civil unrest, death every where we turn, natural disasters, and now an election that only further divides our country.
I have found some hope in this song.
The definition of ceasefire is an order to stop fighting. We will have to come to a point where we as Christians call for a ceasefire, because our country needs healing and help. We need to learn how to hope, live humbly, love with no conditions, and live in the peace that only God can give. We will come to a point where the fighting will exhaust us and we need to talk about the overwhelming peace that God grants us.
I have listened to this song on repeat for the last couple of days and the text has been the most encouraging part of the song for me. I hope that you guys will take a listen to this song and find the hope that I did. Trust that God will bring us out of this hard time and we will be better than ever because we have placed our hope in Him who saves.
