Love your neighbor - Cease Fire version
God’s message whispered
may this be shouted
love your neighbor
those close by
We pray for Ishmael,
we pray for Isaac
that the brothers’ descendants
would truly know peace
May the peace brokered
be engendered
may the silence grow
the shelling ended
We pray for these comfort
safe in their beds
no more bombs landing
on innocent heads

announcement of a cease fire
between Gaza (Hamas) and Israel
&
the tragedy of the fighting in Gaza and Israel
and the source of the conflict
in the division of Ishmael and Isaac
the sons of Abraham
