GIVE PEACE
TO YOUR PEOPLE, GOD
Words
and music by Mary Rose Jensen
From Luke 2:14
Give peace to Your people, God
As the song of the angels told
By the birth of the Baby in
There is hope for the peace of the world.
Give peace to Your people, God
Though our sins kept us far from truth
By the death of the Prophet on
We have peace with each other and You.
Give peace to Your people, God
Though afraid as we face our deaths
By the rising again of the Lamb Who was slain
We have peace in our final breaths.
Give peace to Your people, God
Though the world is still torn by war
By the glorious rule of our Sovereign on high
Someday violence will be no more.
Give peace to Your people, God
Coming not from the world, but You.
By the gift of Your Spirit as promised by Christ
We have peace, for Your Word is true.
