The Lord – Our Peace

1. The Lord Himself, He is our peace,
    He breaks the middle wall;
The walls of strife and bitterness
    That separate us all.
He breaks them down, the man-made walls
    Of selfishness and pride,
So that His love can heal us and
    Unite us from inside.

Refrain
He reconciles, He unifies,
He’ll break and heal and build,
Create anew, make one from two,
A vessel to be filled.

2. The prejudice and jealousy,
    Suspiciousness and sin;
The artificial barriers
    That hide the wounds within.
Diseases of the human heart,
    He heals, He takes away;
He puts to death the enmity,
    To make us whole today.
Refrain

3. A master builder, Jesus is;
    A master breaker too;
He builds the good, removes the bad,
    Creating us anew.
Our self-defence, our strong demands,
    Our stoic unconcern;
The walls that hold our hearts in sin,
    Must break if we would learn!
Refrain
