V1:
I’ve been dealing with the same old news today.
It’s no different than the last YEAR OF yesterdays.
People killin' in every nation,
There will be no consolation, without love. Love.
V2:
Never imagined I would live to see this day
Jesus said in the end, it would be this way.
So much evil in this generation
We can’t change the situation without love
God’s love!
Chorus:
Give us peace.
Give us love.
Harmony.
Give us peace.
Give us love.
Harmony.
BRIDGE:
War is stupid and tragic at once,
Deeply sadd’ning ‘cause we never learn.
When they say “Peace,” destruction will come.
Centuries and centuries they keep fighting on.
People lose lives before their time.
Jesus, said I give you peace, I give you peace, I give you peace;
not as the world does”
it’s peace from my above.
Peace from my love.
V3:
Never imagined I would live to see this day
Jesus said in the end, it would be this way.
Both leaders : There’s no time for hesitation
We gotta pray with desperation
For love. God’s love. (Back to CHORUS)

A house divided can’t stand
how can two walk together except they agree?
The world won’t be free
Without the Lo---rd’s peace
Repeat
Vamp 2
It’s not kingdoms and authorities;
It comes down to is you and me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For peace with all mankind
Pursue peace with all your might
And
Blessings will follow
Blessings will follow.
