the peace of god

sometimes a deep settled peace comes upon me

even when in sorrow and despair

when it comes it soothes my soul completely

and it makes me know my god is near

the peace of god

the peace of god

it will keep your hearts and minds through jesus christ

jesus said let not your heart be troubled

neither let it be afraid

for my peace i will give onto you

not as the world giveth will i give onto you

fret not yourself because of evildoers

and choose none of their ways

but when they use you and spitefully abuse you

just reach out and call on the lord

and the peace of god

the peace of god

yes it will

it will keep your hearts and minds through jesus christ

he will keep hearts and minds in perfect peace

yes he will

the peace of god

the peace of god

yes it will

will keep your hearts and minds through jesus christ

the peace of god

the peace of god

yes it will

will keep your hearts and minds through jesus christ

peace

we're living in such a mean world

a world where there's no rest

a world where there's a lot of turmoil

strife

hatred

bigotry

a lot of sickness

where young people are strung out on drugs

there's murder

there's hate

there's debate

there's deceit

we're living in a mean world with the threat of nuclear war hanging over our heads

but jesus has plainly told us in his word

let not be your heart be troubled

don't let it be afraid for my peace i'm gonna give onto you

not as the world giveth will i give onto you

he'll give you peace when cannot find your way

he'll give you peace in the midnight hour

a deep settled peace within

yes he will

he'll wipe the tears from your eyes

yes he will

the peace of god

the peace of god

it will walk in you

talk in you and live in you

yes it will

oh yeah

the peace of god it will abide in you
