Peace to You
Peace to you is a phrase in the song "Peace" that Rich Mullins sings and wrote with co-author David Strasser. I have a brother-in-the-Lord, Josh T, from my church, who uses this song to teach the gospel in the video below. I believe it is a tremendous production that will help anyone understand that God came in the flesh (John 1:1,2,14) as Jesus Christ, was crucified, was buried, and was resurrected to life to give us the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1,2,3,4).
On the day of Pentecost, when God poured out His Spirit on mankind (Acts 2:1,2,3,4), the Apostle Peter preached this gospel. When the multitude heard the first sermon of the church (Acts 2:6-36), they asked "men and brethren, what shall we do?" (Acts 2:37). Peter responded and said:
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall be filled with the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).
There is only one way to have peace in this life and for eternity and that is to be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Below the video, are the lyrics to "Peace" sung by Rich Mullins.
Peace
Though we're strangers, still I love you
I love you more than your mask
And you know you have to trust this to be true
And I know that's much to ask
But lay down your fears, come and join this feast
He has called us here, you and me
And may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls
This drought has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In the Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
And though I love you, still we're strangers
Prisoners in these lonely hearts
And though our blindness separates us
Still His light shines in the dark
And His outstretched arms are still strong enough to reach
Behind these prison bars to set us free
So may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls the drought has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In this Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
And may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Like those little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls the draught has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In the Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
