NOT PEACE BUT A SWORD song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

And when he called the 12 to him,
he gave them power against sin
against the spirits dark and unclean
to cast them out, and to heal disease

As you travel throughout the land
Say the Kingdom is at hand
Cast out the devils share the bread
Cleanse the lepers and raise the dead

and when they asked him why o Lord
he said I bring not peace but a sword
The earth together we'll transform
I bring not peace But a sword


And fear not for death
It's beyond control
They may take you body
But they can't kill your soul

Trust in me

[background vocals]:
and when they deliver you up,
take no thought of what ye speak:
for it shall be given you
For it is not ye
but the Spirit of the Father
which speaketh in you.

Behold, amongst the hungry wolves
I shall send you forth as sheep
Wise as serpents calm as doves
My commandments for to keep

Though brother shall give up his brother
Children rise against their parents
Father shall give up the child and
Many given up to death sent

But who endureth till the end has come
Shall be saved then
If you do as I accord
I shall not bring peace But a sword

Fear ye not therefore of evil,
For if a sparrow falls he blessed it
Whosoever comes before me
And his sins to me confesseth
I will confess also before my Father in heaven

He that takes not up his Cross
And follow me shall soon be lost
He that loseth life for me
Receiveth him that sendeth me

And whosoever give a drink
Of cold water to these little ones
And whosoever receive the righteous
In the name of what I've done

All this shall be so and so much more
I bring not peace But a sword
They shall in no wise lose his reward
When I bring not peace But a sword.
