Peace Be With You

Story Behind The Song

My minister in Lewiston, idaho, Rob Roberts would ask me to write songs to accompany his sermons. He gave me three months notice and I waited just before the sermon and was inspired to write this song. Several choirs and soloists performed this song in churches and The Northwest Sacred Choral conducted by John Lemke performed this piece at the Presbyterian Church in Coeur d'Alene. I submitted it to Imagine Music Publishing and it was published as an SATB choir piece in Marcy, 2011.

Lyrics

Peace Be With You

"Peace be with you," were the words that He spoke.
They were frightened, as if they'd seen a ghost.
Look at the holes in His hands. Look at the scars in His feet,
And believe. . . believe in Him.

It was written, "Christ must suffer and die.
On the third day He will rise up and fly."
Preaching forgiveness of sins. Preaching repentance of man,
So believe. . . Live on and on.

Chorus 1
You have witnessed.
Stand up and speak for the Lord.
You have seen Him.
Go out and speak to the world.

Then He left them, but He did not die.
Then, He blessed them, as He rose to the sky. . .
As He rose up to the sky.

Chorus 2
Be terrific. Be specific for Him. (Stand up for Him.)
Be terrific. Be specific for Him. (Peace be with you.)

(Repeat and fade)
Peace be with you. Peace be with you.
Peace be with you. Peace be with you.
