Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When my mind is like a battlefield
And my heart is overcome by fear
And hope seems like a ship that's lost at sea
My enemies on every side
And I'm tempted to run and hide
Your gentle whisper reaches out to me
Peace holds me when I'm broken
Sweet peace passes understanding
When the whole wide world is crashing down
I fall to my knees and breathe in Your peace
Fiery arrows whistling
The terror of the night sets in
But I can feel Your angels all around
I am resting underneath the shelter of Your mighty wings
Your promises are where my hope is found
Peace holds me when I'm broken
Sweet peace passes understanding
When the whole wide world is crashing down
I fall to my knees and breathe in Your peace
I remember who You are
You're the God who's never far
So I will not be afraid
God, You always keep me safe
I remember who You are
You're the God who's never far
So I will not be afraid
God, You always keep me safe
Peace holds me when I'm broken
Sweet peace passes understanding
When the whole wide world is crashing down
I fall to my knees and breathe in Your peace
