Peace

We've searched for it like pilgrims
Through faithless days
We've hoped for it to come like rain
And fill our empty souls
We've waited for it like a miracle
To turn our world around
But until we look beyond ourselves
It will not be found

Peace, on this side of heaven
Peace, where none is given
In a world that's so demanding
We all need some understanding
Peace, when the road's uncertain
Peace, when the soul is hurting
We ache for it and we pray for it
But only on our knees will we find peace

We long for it through busy days
And sleepless nights
We've wished for it to stem the tide
Of chaos in our lives
We've dreamed of someday reaching it
A lost and distant home
But until we put our Savior first
We will never, ever know

Peace, on this side of heaven
Peace, where none is given
In a world that's so demanding
We all need some understanding
Peace, when the road's uncertain
Peace, when our soul is hurting
We ache for it and we pray for it
But only on our knees will we find peace

Lord, calm the waters upon our troubled seas
'Cause only by Your power will we ever receive

Peace, on this side of heaven
Peace, where none is given
In a world that's so demanding
We all need some understanding
Peace, when the road's uncertain
Peace, when our soul is hurting
We ache for it and we pray for it
But only on our knees
We ache for it and we pray for it
But only on our knees will we find peace
