"Is it peace? And Jehu (יֵהוּא, Jehovah is He) answered, What hast thou to do with peace?" (2 Kings 9:19 ). "Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?... The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath" (Proverbs 15:11,24). "Ye were without Christ… having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For He is our peace" (Ephesians 2:12-14).
Now what have
they to do with peace
Who have rejected
Christ our Savior?
In Christ alone
is our release
From judgment by
His saving favor!
Hell and
destruction are the end
Of all who spurn
our Savior's love.
Apart from Him there
is no friend
Who makes us fit
to dwell above.
If Christ has
never entered in
To souls He surely
would have pardoned,
There is no hope
to purge their sin
Or peace for hearts
against Him hardened.
O Lord, our
peace is found in You,
In all You've
done, and all You are!
You did what no
one else could do:
You brought us
near, who once were far.
