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.
