WHAT YOU PREACH
[ folk -- written by Sarah Crews; Prescott, AZ ]
We are living in dangerous days
And I am freightened by what you say
We are bound to guard our borders
Sacrifice our soldiers
What kind of world is this
Where hatred can persist?
It chills right to the core
This talk of holy war
Really love your brother
Love your neighbor like that too
And only do to others
What you would want them to do to you
What they did in New York City
Is the darkest kind of crime
What can we tell our children
If we respond in kind?
We only teach them violence
It is how the West was won
Destroy the man who is different
Than your own begotten son
And really love your sister
Love your neighbor like that too
And only do to others
What you would want them to do to you
What you would want them to do to you
We are living in dangerous days
And I am freightened by what you say
It chills right to the core
This talk of holy war

Here area couple of passages that came to mind. I'm sure there are many more "Peace" passages.
John 14:26-28 (New Living Translation)
26 But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. 28 Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am.
Revelation 6:4 (New Living Translation)
4 Then another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and the authority to take peace from the earth. And there was war and slaughter everywhere.
