Let There Be Peace was one of four songs written in Nov of 2021 to go with a sermon series our pastors were preaching called "The Sounds of Advent."
It goes along with the story of Jesus' dedication at the temple in Luke 2.
Here are the lyrics, I hope you enjoy it, but more than that, I hope you find the Peace of Christ in every season.
Let There Be Peace
Vs 1
At the temple in Jerusalem It was just another day
A young mother and her husband came, their child to dedicate
Simeon reached out and took the baby in his hands
He looked upon his face and saw what only he could understand...and he said
Chorus 1
Salvation is here, here in my arms
I'm holding the maker of the universe
Messiah has come, come to our world
Revealing the light of God to us
Unspeakable joy, I am complete
Looking into the eyes of grace
Let there be peace, let there be peace
The King is born
Vs 2
The parents stood there so amazed at everything they heard
They knew this boy was special so they clung to every word
He said He's gonna rewrite history, He's holy and divine
Then he raised his voice to Heaven and cried out more time
Chorus 1
Salvation is here, here in my arms
I'm holding the maker of the universe
Messiah has come, come to our world
Revealing the light of God to us
Unspeakable joy, I am complete
Looking into the eyes of grace
Let there be peace, let there be peace
The King is born
Bridge
Now here we are so many years later
Still searching for peace where it can't be found
But if we trust in Jesus our Savior
We can proclaim without a doubt
Chorus 2
Salvation is here, here in my heart
I'm holding the maker of the universe
Messiah has come, come to our world
Emmanuel is still God with us
Unspeakable joy, I am complete
And I am covered by His grace
Let there be peace, let there be peace
I've been reborn
Tag
Let there be peace, because of the King
I’ve been reborn
