Strangers to your promise,
Orphans with no home;
Separated from each other,
All of us, alone.
Hearts so full of hatred,
Mouths so full of lies;
We cannot see for fighting,
We’ve blackened all our eyes.
Be our peace, O Christ;
By your blood, bring us near.
Be our peace, O Christ;
Perfect Love, drive out fear.
Divided and at odds,
Hostility in our plans—
O come, O Jesus come
With healing in your hands.
Destroy the walls of pride,
The hubris in our hearts;
In you we will be one,
And no more be apart.
Be our peace, O Christ;
By your blood, bring us near.
Be our peace, O Christ;
Perfect Love, drive out fear.
Do not leave us to ourselves
Or surely we will come undone;
Bring us reconciliation,
In your cross now make us one!
Here we have a firm foundation,
You will be our cornerstone.
Only you can end our hatred,
Jesus, you and you alone!
Be our peace, O Christ;
By your blood, bring us near.
Be our peace, O Christ;
Perfect Love, drive out fear.
