about

Justice is a noble aim, but how often are we actually willing to do something--even a small thing--to help bring that about? Are we willing to be the change that is needed?

lyrics

Is peace just the absence of war?
Could making peace mean something more?
We apply a bandage to the gaping wound
Damaged, but beautiful
Your hurting world

Peace to you, my friend
Peace also to our enemies
We didn’t get what we deserved,
But aren’t all men
Made in the same image?

O God of all, we need You now
This world is all messed up
We need Your Kingdom Come
Use these flawed vessels, lifted up
Justice is possible
We can be the peace You want

O God of all, we need You now
This world is all messed up
We need Your Kingdom Come
Use these flawed vessels, lifted up
Justice is possible
Will we be the peace You want?

All or Nothing
by Joy Ike

Joy Ike's new album is, quite simply, impressive. Poppy, jazzy, thoughtful, catchy. "Time" is an especially strong track. Matt Wheeler
