D.44 No One Can Give

Chorus:
No one can give to me
That peace which my risen Lord,
My risen King can give. (2)

When I look around and see
All the things that trouble me
And I seem to lose my peace
In a world that’s not at ease.

Says my risen Christ to me:
My true peace I give to thee,
But not as the world doth give
Is my peace that makes one live.

His true peace in me will stay
As I live from day to day,
And his joy will never end
And in heaven it will extend.

All injustice, hate and strife,
Sins of malice, sex and pride,
Stem from men who’ve never known
Where the seeds of peace were sown.

All the world’s in search of peace
But from sin they’ll never cease,
How can they expect to find
Inner joys and peace of mind?

Christ has risen from the dead,
Triumphed over sin and death,
And he’ll never die again
But as Lord he’ll live and reign.
