Come Peace
Before the Christmas trees
Decorations or holly leaves
Before the songs were wrote
Christ came for me
A light shining oh, so bright
Illuminating the darkness night
God’s Son the Holy Child
Christ came for me
Before the cookies and cakes
All the food that grandma makes
Before all our gatherings
Christ died for me
He was born on that silent night
All my sin and wrong to make right
The cross was already in his sight
Christ died for me
Greater than all the gifts
Better than all the rest
I have one thing that lasts
Christ rose for me
He was born so I would live
Forever praising him
This is the peace he gives
Christ lives for me
Come peace, fill my soul
In the birth of long ago
God’s love shines through the dark
Bring peace to my needful heart
Sing on, Sing my soul with the angels of heav’n
Sing peace, sing my soul
of the wondrous gift that God has giv’n
Come peace, fill my soul
In the birth of long ago
God’s love shines through the dark
Bring peace to my needful heart

The peace we need, the peace we desire does not come in boxes or bags, parties or food. True peace for our lives is being right with the Holy God. This peace is found in the Christ child who came long before what the world knows of Christmas. Jesus came to live, die and rise to bring us peace. That is why we celebrate Christmas. This is the peace of Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
