Peace

Laying alone in this house, when there's no one else here
Each little sound is a shock, and fills me with fear
But I was not made to be paranoid
I need to remember You're here

(chorus)
'Cause when I remember You, reach for You,
Call for You, all I do draws You in
And when I'm listening, I can sing,
Everything tells me I'm Yours again
Then a deep breath begins the release,
With that deep breath, I'm filled with Your peace

Anxiously dreading the future distracts me once more
I'm lost in disasters, catastrophes, famines and wars
But all these imagined calamities

Speak from your heart, and patiently listen
Seek how your enemies might be forgiven
Paving the way for cheerful thanksgiving
The way of the One who is love

Oh, that today you would see what you need:
A heart that rejoices when others are freed
To turn from a world that has fallen in love with its greed
To seek peace

Speak your intents, and tend to your brother
Integrity thrives in the life of a lover
Hold out your hand, and lift up another;
The hand you embrace is of God

You give me joy on the mountain, peace in the valley;
The enemy's plans cannot keep You from rescuing me.
You give me joy on the mountain, peace in the valley;
Oh, wherever I go, Your spirit is setting me free.

Jesus, I come to You for protection--
Don't let me be put to shame.
None of my words or clever inventions
Can heal like the sound of Your Name

For You are the bedrock I'm building upon;
You are my shield when the battle is raging
You lift me out of the sin that's so strong

And I am drifting down the stream into a waterfall, and
I am trapped beneath the froth
Swimming for the surface, and reaching for the sides, and
I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and
I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and
I am so afraid of drowning

CHORUS
This is my fear, this is my cry--
Who will save me in my hour of drowning?
I cannot hear, I cannot see--
Darkness and gravity are all around me
Lord, hear my cry...
