Lyrics:
Peace you gave us, peace you left us
as you died nailed to the heavy cross.
As the people you had loved jeered and taunted you below,
still your love for them remained.
It took your crucifixion
to teach us what it means to love.
Through our conflicts and our fears, help us know that you are near,
give us strength to live your way--
A way of love.
Lord, help us in our conflicts.
Help us see you in our enemies.
Let us see them as they are, beloved children of our God,
and forgive when things don't go our way.
And when we hurt those who are near us,
teach us how to sow your peace.
Let us humbly come to you, ask forgiveness for our sins,
and beg your help when temptation comes our way--
For you are love.
Lord, forgive us when we weigh down the cross
with bitterness and greed.
Forgive us, Lord, for without you we cannot fathom what love can bring.
Help us share this gift to all we see,
for peace eternally with you, our Love,
Unending Love.
Teach us to love.
May we be love.
Lord, help all war-torn countries
from the pain that comes from every side.
Teach us how to serve you, Lord, let us fight to spread your word
using peace for swords and compassion for guns.
Soldier us with love.
Let us fight for Love,
Unending Love.
May we be love.
