Peace Be With You

John 20:19-22

‘Peace be with you,’ disciples heard
From Christ as He appeared
To offer them a caring word
And set aside their fears.

The hands and side which Christ displayed
Bore wounds of clemency;
Christ’s second word of peace conveyed
God’s timeless empathy.

‘Receive the Spirit as you go!’
His very breath, Christ gave.
‘As God has sent me, even so,
I send you,’ Jesus said.

May we hear Christ, and sense God’s peace.
May joy lead us to know
The Spirit’s breath eternally,
To guide where we must go.
