I would be a peacemaker, if I were more at peace with myself.
I would be a peacemaker, if I were not so quick to anger.
I would be a peacemaker, if I were not so slow to listen.
I would be a peacemaker, if I saw you with the eyes of God, loved you with the heart of God, reached out to you with the hands of God.
I would be a peacemaker, if … if … if.
