Psalm 133—Those rival peaks made partners in peace forever.
"Look at the goodness that rains on us when brothers and friends dwell together in peace."
Rendition of Psalm 133
Look at the goodness that rains on us When brothers and friends Dwell together in peace. It is a consecration, an anointing, A gift that ran down more Abundantly than we could have asked Or hoped or guessed. It is like a river running From the green heights of Hermon Coursing to Zion, those rival peaks Made partners in peace forever.
