Verse One
In the library, hope came into view
Standing with heroes’, time let me walk through
(The) Face of honest Abe, on a book cover
(Then) John Kennedy and, Bobby his brother
Verse Two
Sat with Gandhi and, Martin Luther King
I read about peace, I heard freedom ring
Their eyes were intent on, change they could share
They were wise in ways, so quiet in prayer
Bridge
A few words go far so they say
Actions speak louder and slip away
Rest in peace shaking heads can pray
It’s always about the words they say
Chorus
When unfolding evil shoots tragedy
The Fallen Messenger the world see’s
The message remains what will be will be
The Fallen Messenger the world see’s
Verse Three
Aiming for peace was, Yitzak Rabin’s goal
John Lennon sang it, then hate lost control
Shot in cold blood, hearts of love gone by
Courage makes a mark, when millions will cry

The greatest message came from the Greatest Messenger, Jesus Christ, He came from heaven with the gospel news of reconciliation, peace with God, a message to all people because all people are guilty of sin, henceforth all people are at enmity with God, Jesus willingly died to accomplish this peace, by believing in faith, asking Jesus into your heart, receiving Jesus gives you that peace, and the obedience you follow with a changed live is your proof,
The new life as a Christian will not be easy, old ways, habits, friends and even some family will fall away because values will change, motives for doing what you do will have a new bent toward honoring God, but you will never be alone, God will live inside and that truth is supernatural, therefore when you truly know God is with you, you’re in the family of God
