Citizen Way's 'Peace Like A River' is a contemporary Christian song about finding supernatural peace and hope in God amidst life's trials. The lyrics reflect on losing worldly things to discover true value in God's free gift, and express confidence that fear has no hold because of Christ's resurrection and the promise of heaven. The song emphasizes inexplicable joy in pain, God's power, and a settled trust that all is well with the soul. It draws on the classic hymn 'It Is Well' and conveys a message of assurance and faith.

I had to lose it all to find what I really have
Money turns to ash power doesn't last
And all I need You gave to me for free
Peace like a river
I can't explain
I don't understand
How there's joy in the pain
You dried up my tears
Like sun in the rain
There's power in Your name
Oh there's power in Your name
I'm gonna be ok
Cuz I've got peace peace peace
Like a river
Oh got peace peace peace like a river
River river
Fear doesn't have a thing on me
I'm not afraid in life or death
I am not alone
Since you rolled away the stone
And heaven heaven is my home
Peace like a river
I can't explain
I don't understand
How there's joy in the pain
You dried up my tears
Like sun in the rain
There's power in Your name
Oh there's power in Your name
I'm gonna be ok
Cuz I've got peace peace peace
Like a river
Oh got peace peace peace like a river
River river
My hope is in You alone
And it is well it is well with my soul
All of my hope is in You alone
And it is well it is well with my soul
Peace like a river
I can't explain
I don't understand
How there's joy in the pain
You dried up my tears
Like sun in the rain
There's power in Your name
Oh there's power in Your name
