Verse 1 (play verse riff):
Pour the oil on troubled waters
Come around lay down arms
Rest between the pure in heart and persecuted
Sound alarms to make calm
Mend the fence convincing some
The Spirit's sence of mercy
Live the Gospel and the Gospel is His peace

Chorus:
Bm  D   G   Bm  D   G
Oh__Oh__Oh, Oh__Oh__Oh

Verse 2 (play verse riff):
Heal the breach and reach out
With the olive branch, allay fear
Live the seventh blessing and expect
To be an heir of God
Meet halfway to pacify
The longing with an answer
Live the Gospel and the Gospel is His peace

Chorus:
Bm  D   G   Bm  D   G   Bm  D   G   Bm  D   G
Oh__Oh__Oh, Oh__Oh__Oh, Oh__Oh__Oh, Oh__Oh__Oh

Bridge:
Em
For a kiss from Holiness
   G                             Bm                  D
Discovering the dove lights only when our hearts agree
Em
There is reverence in this
    G                              Bm                   D
The offering of heart's ease for a spiritual weave of peace
