Let Peace Begin

Intro

Oh Lord

Help us tonight

Mercy

Chorus

Put down the heavy iron

Israel

Put it down

Leave the bitter fields behind

Israel

Oh let it fall to the dirt

Heal the wounded land

Hear the mother's cry

Let the peace begin

Let the peace begin

Verse 1

Swords to plowshares now

Steel sinking in the green grass

Brothers staring at the sky

Forgotten why they had to fight

Pre-Chorus

No more sorrow

No more pain

I am praying

I am praying

Chorus

Put down the heavy iron

Israel

Put it down

Leave the bitter fields behind

Israel

Oh let it fall to the dirt

Heal the wounded land

Hear the mother's cry

Let the peace begin

Let the peace begin

Verse 2

Save the children of Iran

Ancient desert soil

Give them bread instead of stones

Comfort every aching bone

Pre-Chorus

Watch the morning

Watch the light

Stop the crying

Stop the crying

Bridge

Bring them home

Bring them home

Safely back within the gates

Quiet streets

Quiet nights

Where the love remains

Oh let the love remain

Chorus

Put down the heavy iron

Israel

Put it down

Leave the bitter fields behind

Israel

Oh let it fall to the dirt

Heal the wounded land

Hear the mother's cry

Let the peace begin

Let the peace begin
