light the flame of peace – v2

No more war, peace

the justice of God

washing over the earth

changing hearts

afire, within

transformed by Christ’s example

the Spirit burning

Light the flame of peace

burning away the refuse,

the false idols,

consuming all else

leaving love alone

the joy of God with us

here on the earth
