Lyrics

At the risk of being a touch naïve
I know I sound a bit Miss UK
I don't mean to talk to you all liberal left wing
But I'd like to have peace in my day
I'd hate it that you think me stupid
My aims not to seem far too raw
The last thing I am is a Guardian reader
But I'd like to see peace in this world


But he didn't come to bring peace to this land
Instead He came with the sword to tear families apart
To face-up to religion and the Pharisee heart
Father and child, mother and son
You find enemies lurking inside your abode
Where can you rest if not in your home

But still I'm hoping for peace in this world
I know that it's in me that you'll start
How can I say without some Christianese
Lord please start by changing my heart
I know that Your gifts are forever
I know You gave me a new start
I know that You've started a great thing in me
And I thank you for peace in my heart

But You didn't come to bring peace to this land
Instead You came with the sword to tear families apart
To face-up to religion and the Pharisee heart
Father and child, mother and son
You find enemies lurking inside your abode
Where can you rest if not in your home
You are the peace, You are the joy
And the peace that You bring is so hard to endure
Unless everyone knows that You're heir to the world
Open their eyes that they may see
You're the way and the truth and the life for us all
You're the only source of peace in this world
