O, Peace

Chorus 1

Peace, oh peace
Can we have it? Can we have it?
‘Cos 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 2

Peace, oh peace
Are you near me? Could you even be?
‘Cos 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

‘Cos in a turbulent world that’s torn
To the core of itself
We need a healer
Hope outside the hurt

Chorus 3

Peace, oh 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 4

Peace, oh peace
Where are you
Where are you now?

Chorus 5

Prince of Peace
How I need You, how I need You
I won’t find rest here without You
