I find
It's always the lie that is loudest
I know the one with the power
Is never the one who is shoutin'
Shoutin'
I lean in
I know that I need to listen
Through all of the thunder You whisper
Even in doubt You are with me, with me
Like a love song that I've always known
Your word hits me deep inside my soul
When You speak
I'm found in the sound of 'Peace Be Still'
The wind and the waves bow to Your will
You drown my fear with a love more real than anything
Anything I feel, when You speak
(Hey, hey-ay, woah-oh)
When You speak
(Hey, hey-ay, woah-oh)
I know
You're not the God of confusion
Why do I feel like I'm losin'
My mind?
Every time
I can't see what You're doin'
Like a love song that I've always known
Your word hits me deep inside my soul
When You speak
I'm found in the sound of 'Peace Be Still'
The wind and the waves bow to Your will
You drown my fear with a love more real than anything
Anything I feel, when You speak
(Hey, hey-ay, woah-oh)
When You speak
(Hey, hey-ay, woah-oh)
It's a holy melody
Set in Heaven's perfect key
Redemption's frequency
Healing me, healing me
It's the Father whispering
Mercy over every need
Breaking through and breaking free
Healing me, it's healing me
When You speak
When You speak
Oh-oh
When You speak
I'm found in the sound of 'Peace Be Still'
The wind and the waves bow to Your will
You drown my fear with a love more real than anything (Love more real)
Anything I feel, when You speak
(Hey, hey-ay, woah-oh)
When You speak (When You speak)
(Hey, hey-ay, woah-oh) When you speak
(Hey, hey-ay, woah-oh) Oh
When You speak (When you speak)
(Hey, hey-ay, woah-oh) When You speak
