Lyrics

We are people of God's peace
as a new creation.
Love unites and strengthens us
at this celebration.
Sons and daughters of the Lord,
serving one another,
a new covenant of peace
binds us all together.

We are children of God's peace
in this new creation,
spreading joy and happiness
through God's great salvation.
Hope we bring in spirit meek,
in our daily living.
Peace with ev'ryone we seek,
good for evil giving.

We are servants of God's peace,
of the new creation.
Choosing peace, we faithfully
serve with heart's devotion.
Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace,
confidence will give us.
Christ the Lord is our defense;
Christ will never leave us.
