Peace Will Rule

We hold on to what we know
And then miss out on so much
That part of us that desires and wants
Will find rest with God’s divine touch

Jesus came to free our world
From the forces that divide
We must wake up and cooperate
If we want to be unified

God has revealed Himself
Yet He still remains hidden
His life in us provides and sustains
And gives grace when we do as He’s bidden

Through the power of love crucified
God has promised a greater good
We must reach for that which is better
Let’s persevere and do as we should

Stop. Judging. Other. People.
Look within and do what is right
Through God’s love given to humanity
Peace will rule our world and our lives
