(James 3:18, Matthew 5:9, 10:12-14; Luke 10:5-6, 12:51; John 14:27, 16:33, Romans 12:18, 14:19, 16:20; Ephesians 4:3, 6:15; Colossians 3:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:16; 2 Timothy 2:22; Titus 3:1-2; 1 Peter 3:10-11)

I want to make peace
They want to break knees
I want to make peace, harmonize
Yet there's — some savage guys that I meet who
Forgot to take heed
God knows
God knows they want to break me

I've told them in love
I've told them in love for the third time
And it's time they know He's for real
I've told them enough — yeah-eh
God knows
God knows I've told them in love

His train's comin' through — here
I can't control them or make them love me or like the truth
But I have to be pure when they march out for war
Oh, how I want to be meek — there, there
Though now I'd love to just shriek
Won't shout; I want to make peace

Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Luke 10:5-6
“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you."

John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Romans 12:18
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

But strife still goes on
I can't get used to livin' without givin' the crowd biblically sound truth
'Bout Messiah
I don't want to live unknown
Hey — God knows
I've got to make this song my own
So maybe they can see
My God who saved me

I've gone through James 3
Line 1 through 18, yeah-eah

James 3:18
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

I want, I want, I want, I want to make peace
