Author: Michael Baughen, 1930- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #619 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.12 Lyrics: 1 Because he died and is risen,
because he died and is risen,
because he died and is risen,
we now have peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 His peace destroys walls between us,
his peace destroys walls between us,
his peace destroys walls between us,
for only he can reconcile us both to God.
3 "My peace I give you," said Jesus,
"my peace I give you," said Jesus,
"my peace I give you," said Jesus,
"don't let your heart be troubled; do not be afraid."
4 The peace beyond understanding,
the peace beyond understanding,
the peace beyond understanding
will guard the hearts and minds of those who pray.
