Peace



                                                I'm free to live my life in peace
                                                My burdens and sorrows, I gladly release

                                                The darkness that shadowed my empty soul
                                                Is now gone, I've been made whole
              
                                                The time I've wasted is gone and no more
                                                The solace I've found, is like nothing before

                                                Peace has erased the sadness and tears
                                                From all of my yesterdays, all of my years

                                               My heart is overflowing, in a joyful place
                                               Sent from heaven above and God's tender grace

                                               God's peace will linger until my life's end
                                               He'll always be there as my dearest friend
