From the recording No Condemnation
Peace (Fruits of the Spirit series)
You say that you want me, but I disagree
Cause you ignore the branches, of my olive tree
I see your children sleeping, you kiss them on the brow
I’m the peace your angles dream of, when they’re safe and sound
So why, (can’t you see eye to eye)
In your heart you know what is right (There’s no reason to fight) Hate is only fear in disguise, (things won’t change overnight)
It takes strength and courage to fly
So won’t you give peace a try
Without me, nations war against each other
While there sons die in battle, survived by their crying mothers When will you lear, to trust in the Lord
Peace is the answer, let it reign forevermore
So why, (can’t you see eye to eye)
In your heart you know what is right (There’s no reason to fight) Hate is only fear in disguise, (things won’t change overnight)
It takes strength and courage to fly
So won’t you give peace a try
Love, Joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control Theses are the fruits of the Spirit, Open your mind and receive it
Peace is just what you needed
May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding
Keep your hearts and minds
Through Jesus Christ (2x's)
Shalom
Give Peace a try (2x’s)
Peace be with you (2x’s) (outro)
