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 the 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
