tell good news of peace
to all the earth,
tell good news of peace
though the earth is wounded,
scarred, and scorched, is made
a wasteland before our eyes, oh
tell good news of peace
to all the earth,
tell good news of peace
though homes have fallen, lives
are lost or changed forever,
livelihoods gone up in smoke -
oh, tell good news of peace
to all the earth,
tell good news of peace
though kangaroos, possums,
and koalas flee the flames or
far too often perish, with herds
and flocks, and packs, and dens -
tell good news of peace
to all the earth:
oh, tell good news of peace
with teams of brave ones,
flying tanks and leaky buckets,
pour water on the burning earth
with love and care and our protection
with silent presence stand beside
the grieving, the angry, the utterly bereft,
with love and care and deep compassion
with gentle calm accept the trust
of animal to human in these upside down
times of need and bind the wounds,
quench the thirst with love
and care and hopeful devotion
oh tell good news of peace
to all the earth:
tell good news of peace.
