Peace

Lord, I feel Your love reaching out
As I wonder what I should do
There's so much I worry about
Forgetting that peace comes from You

You always show me that You care
That You can supply all my needs
Even if I am not aware
Of where this path of Yours will lead

Lord, my life is completely Yours
There's no need to fear anymore
Cause You can see the distant shores
And You know what You're doing,

Lord You will lead me out of the rain
If I just submit to Your care
I can feel You soothing the pain
No matter what, You'll still be there

And You'll always listen and help
You know my needs better than I
I must stop counting on myself
And look to You, Who hears my cry

You reach out Your hand and touch me
You let me know that I can rest
You have ways that I cannot see
And plans better than I can guess

When I feel so helpless and weak
I can't do what's right on my own
You will quiet my fears, and speak
Telling me I'm never alone

You'll lead me through all the trials
You'll give me strength and help me grow
Your love is with me all the while
Reminding me of what I know:

"My grace is sufficient for you
My strength made perfect in weakness"
Sweet Lord, I know that this is true
I will lean on You in meekness

I'll put my life into Your hands
I will let Your strength work through me
I'll follow You through foreign lands
Towards the light that I now can't see
