320. The Peace of Mind

Find hymn on ONE LICENSE

1 The peace of mind that Christ can bring
is peace in knowing how to sing
in spite of doubts of why or how,
in spite of fears of here and now.

2 The peace that strengthens faithful souls
cannot be built on self-made goals,
but rather comes to those who heed
a call for help in time of need.

3 So one finds peace within the heart
when each other bears a part.
When peace for me is peace for you,
then Christ is present, peace is true.

4 So Christ, invade our life and will
until we see your justice still
defining best all human worth,
reshaping dreams of peace on earth.
