The Son of God came in Peace,
His Father's love for us to show.
To stop all hate and slow our pace,
Now who with Him will go.

The Son of God came in Peace,
Not for power or personal gain.
Jesus sought to serve mankind,
Now who will share His pain.


The Son of God came in Peace,
Turning spears into pruning hooks
Swords into plowshares warm,
Never again to others harm.

The Son of God came in peace,
To give all people blessed release.
From the curse of war some day,
May it be soon dear God we pray.

1 John 4:9 (KJV)
In this was manifested the love of God
toward us, because that God sent
his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him.
