lyrics

Now, why He came into our world just when He did, I’m not quite sure
I guess He knew that any time He’d find us quite the same
Our lowly state, so sad to see, oppression, hate, and poverty
With sickness, hunger all around and only us to blame

Yet He could look on us with love, bring us hope, and tell us of
A better world He and His Father had planned for us one day
To our confusion and distress, He entered in and put to rest
One troubled heart after another He found along the road He trod each day

CHORUS:
Peace on earth and peace within
Is ours forever if and when
We make a space and let Him in
The only hope to end our many wars—without, within—
All starts with Him

He calmed the storm and troubled sea, and did the very same for me
The day He came into my world and set me on my feet
The words He said the day we met I’ll never doubt, much less forget
My fearful heart was set at ease the day He said to me:

“Now I am yours and you are mine, and this beyond the end of time
Will never change, and never end, ‘cause I’ll be there for you
When things are hard and times get tough, the grace I give will be enough
I’ll lead you out and bring you through
‘Cause I lived and died, and live again for you

CHORUS:
Peace on earth and peace within
Is ours forever if and when
We make a space and let Him in
The only hope to end our many wars—without, within—
All starts with Him


CHORUS:
Peace on earth and peace within
Is ours forever if and when
We make the choice to let Him in
The only hope to end our many wars—without, within—
All starts with Him
