Peace Songtext
von Kim Boyce

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, our 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 a 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 on 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 a 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
