I Come In Peace

The battle is over
It has been lost and won
As the Victor bask in adulation 
The vanquished lick their wound 
Some give up and surrender 
Others retreat to their shell
For a while to fight another day
I come in peace
I lost the battle
But I have won the peace
I am not ashamed 
I hold my head high
For Jesus has overcome for me
He has given me peace
Not as the world gives
But peace everlasting
