Movement VIII - Peace
[SHANTY]
And so it was that you were born
Into this world one winter morning
With a childish innocence you smiled at me
And I was born again
[BOY SOLO]
Non nobis solum
Sed toti mundo
[BOYS' CHOIR]
Nati
Mundo nati
[BOY SOLO]
Toti mundo nati
[MEN'S Chorus]
God is good
And He will be our savior
All we need
Is in His power to give us
Let the light that lies within
His heart
Illuminate our being
[FULL Chorus]
God is good
And with this thought to guide us
We will live
In joyful contemplation
Let the love that lives within your heart
Illuminate your being
[PREACHER]
What people want is a family life
The strength of a home and a moat round the castle
Pull up the drawbridge
Staying at home with the family
All people want is a family life
Sometimes they find that it isn't so easy
People can argue
Life can be hard on a family
[BASSES]
Mum's in the kitchen, she won't speak to Dad
[ALTOS]
Uncle's ashamed of the good time he had
[TENORS]
Brothers and sisters are lifting the roof
With the music they play all night
[PREACHER]
But people still want a family life
Nothing replaces the love and affection
Pull up the drawbridge
Tempers are frayed, but it's like that
[ALTOS]
Don't be dismayed if it's like that
[BASSES]
Like that
[PREACHER]
You're not obeyed but you like that -family life
[BOYS and ALTOS]
God is good
In Him we'll live for ever
Satisfied
Inside His grace and glory
[FULL Chorus]
Safe and sound
In His eternal love
We have found salvation
[NURSE]
Dad's In the garden, he won't speak to M
[MARY DEE]
Mother
[NURSE]
Uncle's in bed with a pain in his
[SHANTY]
The Devil is evil
[PREACHER]
And God is good
[MARY DEE]
The Devil is evil
[SHANTY]
With a D
[MARY DEE]
And God is good
[SHANTY]
Without an O
[MARY DEE and NURSE]
God is good without an O
[SHANTY and PREACHER]

[MARY DEE and NURSE]
And so we are grateful for harmony
For we will be faithful

[MARY DEE, NURSE, SHANTY and PREACHER]

To lead us through the darkness
Live in love and when the battle's won

So on and on the story goes
From day to day throughout our lives
[MARY DEE]

That's how it grows
I am with you
[MARY DEE and SHANTY]
Our love survives
