Lyrics The Peace Of God - Shirley Caesar

The Peace Of God

Sometimes a deep settled peace comes upon me
Even when in sorrow and despair
When it comes it soothes my soul completely
And it makes me know my God is near
The peace of god, the peace of god
It will keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ
Jesus said let not your heart be troubled
Neither let it be afraid
For my peace I will give onto you
Not as the world giveth will I give onto you
Fret not yourself because of evildoers
And choose none of their ways
But when they use you and spitefully abuse you
Just reach out and call on the Lord
And the peace of god, the peace of god, yes it will
It will keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ
He will keep hearts and minds in perfect peace, yes he will
The peace of god, the peace of god, yes it will
Will keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ
The peace of god, the peace of god, yes it will
Will keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ
Peace
We’re living in such a mean world
A world where there’s no rest
A world where there’s a lot of turmoil, strife, hatred, bigotry
A lot of sickness
Where young people are strung out on drugs
There’s murder, there’s hate, there’s debate, there’s deceit
We’re living in a mean world with the threat of nuclear war hanging over our
heads
But Jesus has plainly told us in his word, let not be your heart be troubled
Don’t let it be afraid for my peace I’m gonna give onto you
Not as the world giveth will I give onto you
He’ll give you peace when cannot find your way
He’ll give you peace in the midnight hour
A deep settled peace within, yes he will
He’ll wipe the tears from your eyes, yes he will
The peace of God, the peace of God
It will walk in you, talk in you and live in you, yes it will
Oh yeah, the peace of God it will abide in you
