Let There Be Peace was one of four songs written in Nov of 2021 to go with a sermon series our pastors were preaching called "The Sounds of Advent."

It goes along with the story of Jesus' dedication at the temple in Luke 2.

Here are the lyrics, I hope you enjoy it, but more than that, I hope you find the Peace of Christ in every season.

Let There Be Peace

Vs 1

At the temple in Jerusalem It was just another day

A young mother and her husband came, their child to dedicate

Simeon reached out and took the baby in his hands

He looked upon his face and saw what only he could understand...and he said

Chorus 1

Salvation is here, here in my arms

I'm holding the maker of the universe

Messiah has come, come to our world

Revealing the light of God to us

Unspeakable joy, I am complete

Looking into the eyes of grace

Let there be peace, let there be peace

The King is born

Vs 2

The parents stood there so amazed at everything they heard

They knew this boy was special so they clung to every word

He said He's gonna rewrite history, He's holy and divine

Then he raised his voice to Heaven and cried out more time

Chorus 1

Salvation is here, here in my arms

I'm holding the maker of the universe

Messiah has come, come to our world

Revealing the light of God to us

Unspeakable joy, I am complete

Looking into the eyes of grace

Let there be peace, let there be peace

The King is born

Bridge

Now here we are so many years later

Still searching for peace where it can't be found

But if we trust in Jesus our Savior

We can proclaim without a doubt

Chorus 2

Salvation is here, here in my heart

I'm holding the maker of the universe

Messiah has come, come to our world

Emmanuel is still God with us

Unspeakable joy, I am complete

And I am covered by His grace

Let there be peace, let there be peace

I've been reborn
