O, Peace

[Chorus]
Peace, o peace‚ can we have it? Can we have it?
'Cause now I can't seem to find it

[Verse 1]
Is there hope for the troubled heart?
Are there answers to questions asked in sorrow
Where no words suffice?

[Verse 2]
When there's nobody else who can
Put this riotous storm to sleep inside me
Can I count on You?

[Chorus]
Peace‚ o peace‚ are you near me? Could you even be?
'Cause now you feel far away from me

{Verse 3}
In the midst of the pain, it's like
Only violence rules; is there a prospect
Of another way?

[Verse 4]
'Cause in a turbulent world that's torn
To the core of itself, we need a healer
Hope outside the hurt

[Chorus]
Peace‚ o peace, can we have it? Can we have it?
The real thing, not a counterfeit‚ do we even want it?

[Bridge]
Songs of desperate hearts and of the hopeless
Crying out for an end to all the chaos
Hanging by fingernails onto a promise
That by the blood on a cross there will be justice

[Chorus]
Peace, o peace, where are you now?
Where are you now? Where are you now?

[Chorus]
Prince of Peace, how I need You, how I need You
I won't find rest here without You
