Verse 1a

Isaiah prophesied a Prince of Peace

Then Jesus laid his glory down to gain our liberty

So I will not be counted out among your enemies.

Peace, Goodwill to you.

Verse 1b

When unity is strained and friendships bleed

I’ll go the extra mile with you, and here’s my other cheek

If Jesus gave it all to me, I’ll give you what you need

Peace, goodwill to you.

Bridge 1

Wherever the line was

He crossed it

to share a table

with you.

So wherever my fear has

divided

I’ll set a table for you

Verse 2a

The angels split the sky to sing the news

War gave way to victory beneath the Christmas moon

So the only sword I’ll carry now is love that speaks the truth, in

Peace, goodwill to you.

When kings awake in mangers, pride is torn

Sacrificial love reveals the glory of the Lord

With gold between the cracks the fractured mirror is restored

Peace, goodwill to you.

Bridge 2

Wherever the line was

He crossed it

to share a table

with you.

When the Son has been given

and risen

all that remains is communion

Verse 3

Emmanuel, the center of the Word

The one with right to smite and yet He came to love the world

If the battle has been finished, all my weapons hit the dirt

Peace, goodwill to you.
