Analysis of No Better Peace
The best I'm showing
To Jesus above,
Is that God knowing
Holy Souls I love.
Releasing those Souls
In Purgatory,
From those burning coals,
God all the glory.
There a better way,
Than showing God's love
And to always pray
To Jesus above.
There's no better Peace,
St. Gertrude's story,
Than them you release;
From Purgatory.
