Peace That Floods My Soul

I can't explain it
But I know it's there
I've searched all over
And it's not just anywhere

Peace

I've had nothing
I've had wealth
I've been sick
I've had health

Peace

I've felt love
My heart has been full
Heartaches have drained me dry
The pain searing with every cry

Peace

I've had a smile so bright
And happiness in tomorrow
I've had a distressing face
My days have seen sorrow

Peace

Relationships have lightened my load
People reaching out a hand
I have felt abandoned
I have been left alone to stand

Peace

Life whirs on by
My circumstances always shift
How does my heart hang on
He steps in to lift

Peace

I bow low at His throne
And at His feet I cast my cares
Trusting His hand with my heart
Every burden disappears

Peace

A new sensation hits me with a force
Wave after wave of untold grace
Everything stills under His crown
He shows my anxious thoughts their place

Peace

I will never be able to explain or reason
This merciful act so humbly bold
For I know the sinner I've been
I know what the dark memories have told

Peace

I cringe waiting for the rebuke
He chuckles and throws the load into the sea
My step is lighter
I feel free

Peace

He unlocks Heaven's gates
Buckets of peace pour into my soul
I close my eyes
In His Presence I'm made whole

Peace

The joy overwhelms
I have been taught not to fear
I have been shown lasting peace
When my Jesus draws me near

Peace
