Lyrics
Verse 1
Some chase the quiet in a bottle late at night,
Some numb the ache with powder, needles, pills, and lies,
For a moment it feels like the storm is gone,
But the morning comes and the calm moves on.
Temporary silence, borrowed relief,
A pause in the pain but it never brings peace,
It only hides the hurt, it never makes it whole,
Leaves a deeper hunger in the soul.
Chorus
There’s a peace this world can’t give or take away,
Not the kind that fades when the night turns gray,
It don’t come cheap, it don’t come fast,
But it holds you steady when the trouble lasts.
Verse 2
The world calls peace a break from the fight,
A moment of calm, a softer night,
But calm can shatter when the ground gives way,
When fear shows up and refuses to stay.
Jesus spoke of a deeper kind,
A peace that settles the heart and mind,
Not the absence of storms or pain or loss,
But a soul anchored firm at the cross.
Chorus
There’s a peace this world can’t give or take away,
Not the kind that fades when the night turns gray,
It don’t come cheap, it don’t come fast,
But it holds you steady when the trouble lasts.
[Solo]
Verse 3
He said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give,
A living hope, a better way to live,
Not as the world hands out and pulls back tight,
But a gift of wholeness in the darkest fight.
When faith takes root and trust runs deep,
Your heart can rest even when you weep,
The chaos still roars, but it don’t win,
Because real peace lives within.
Bridge
It’s not found at the bottom of a glass,
Or in chemicals meant to make pain pass,
It’s found on your knees, surrendering control,
When you place your life in His wounded hands whole.
Chorus
There’s a peace this world can’t give or take away,
Stronger than fear, deeper than pain,
When the road is rough and the night is long,
His peace will carry you on and on.
[Solo]
Outro
So lay down the lies that promise relief,
Lay down the weight, lay down disbelief,
True peace begins when your heart says “Yes,
And follows the Author of peace Jesus.
