If we would put on the Peace of Christ – v2

Christ gave us peace,
even on that night
The peace of Christ was given
by the Word made flesh
by God incarnate
Emmanuel, the Christ
Christ gave us his peace
on that night of his betrayal

Speaking of what he would leave us
when he left our sight
a love deeper, richer that this
peace he gave us, the peace of Christ

Nothing should trouble us
we should walk in his light
Would we be so anxious
flailing about, would be so timid
why wouldn’t we shout
freed from worry, free from doubt
if we would but put on
the living peace of Christ

Yet the world still hems us in
bringing us down
when we know we will wear
a shimmering robe, a golden crown

Why do we worry,
why do we fear
when a love like this
should wash every tear
Life should be bolder
we should sing that song
praising our Savior
all the day long
