The Peace Of God

Representative Text

1 By living waters I am led;
And by the living Word I'm fed;
A weary soul once more is stilled;
Submit my heart to Holy will
His Holy will shall have control
The peace of God is in my soul.

2 Now God, once more please hear my plea;
I humbly bow on bended knee;
For living waters, Christ, I cry;
For only on Thee I rely. [Refrain]
His Holy will shall have control
The peace of God is in my soul.

3 Then to the feast of living bread;
Forever ready for my stead;
My cup is filled once more I find;
The peace of God within my mind.
His Holy will shall have control
The peace of God is in my soul.
