explanation: white ribbon day

after a number of people wondering about the last post i thought i'd enlighten the subject.

i live in northern ireland.

here are the lyrics:

How can it be
that God is love?
When blood runs down
upon our land
And fathers lose
their only son
Where is the hope?
Oh God we pray
For White Ribbon Day

How can it be
that you could love?
When blood ran down
that wooden cross
Your Father gave
His only Son
You came for peace
You came to die
For White Ribbon Day

And we pray for peace
To flood our hearts again
Only God can save our nation now
And we long for joy
To fill our streets again
Only God can save our nation now

How can it be
that God is just?
When flesh is torn
from young and old
And children run
in bloody fields
Where is the Hope
Oh God we pray
For White Ribbon Day

And we pray for peace
To flood our hearts again
Only God can save our nation now
And we long for joy
To fill our streets again
Only God can save our nation now

And can it be
that You are just?
And flesh was torn
from young and old
And here we stand
saved by Your blood
We stand with courage
We'll live and die
For White Ribbon Day

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah for White Ribbon Day
