I Come Before You I Come In Peace

I come before you, but you won’t be listening;
I come across uninviting, not convincing;
Yet you alone are combatant and unraveling;
Your temperament is passivating, resonating;

I come in peace
I come in peace
I offer up the Olive Branch
I increase my hand shake, putting pressure
I’ve learned those lessons in love
I offer up the Olive Branch in joy above

I stand before you, offering those treasures trues;
I come before you, a soldier of peace
Standing here without shoes on my feet
Because I’ve giving you my shoes and a soul, filled in love

From the Father

I come in peace
I come in peace
I offer up the Olive Branch
I increase my hand shake, putting pressure
I’ve learned those lessons in love
I offer up the Olive Branch in joy above
I offer up the Olive Branch in joy in love
I offer up the Olive Branch in joy in love
