I bought a new Roland keyboard and was investigating the sound banks. One sound made me think of peacefulness, which triggered a desire to write a song about peace ... just so I'd have an outlet to use the sound I had enjoyed so much.

(v.1)
The stress of life we face everyday
Is what drains our strength away.
If you love God, you know the fight,
The constant battle to stay upright.

But we're not facing anything new.
Jesus Christ had to deal with it, too.
Yet, he never got rattled, or lost control.
What a great example for us to follow.

(transition)
Life goes by rather noisily.
But the voice of God speaks quietly.
We don't want to miss what He says to us.
So stay relaxed, and stay in touch.

(chorus)
Peace is strength.
Peace is strength.

(v.2)
The peace of God can handle anything
You'll love the health and confidence it brings.
The world can make all the racket it can
But just keep walking in God's plan.

And when life throws a rock in your pond
Don't let the disturbance take away your calm.
The ripples may spread from end to end
But the center is quickly quiet again.
