I don't want to be afraid

Every time I face the waves

I don't want to be afraid

I don't want to be afraid

I don't want to fear the storm

Just because I hear it roar

I don't want to fear the storm

I don't want to fear the storm


Peace be still

Say the word and I will

Set my feet upon the sea

Till I'm dancing in the deep

Oh, peace be still

You are here so it is well

Even when my eyes can't see

I will trust the voice that speaks


I'm not gonna be afraid

'Cause these waves are only waves

Oh, I'm not gonna be afraid

I'm not gonna be afraid

I'm not gonna fear the storm

You are greater than its roar

I'm not gonna fear the storm

Oh, I'm not gonna fear at all, yeah


Peace be still

Say the word and I will

Set my feet upon the sea

Till I'm dancing in the deep, oh

Peace be still

You are here so it is well

Even when my eyes can't see

I will trust the voice that speaks

Peace, peace, yes

Over me, yeah

Oh Jesus, let Your peace calm them

Oo-ooh, oooh


Let faith rise up

Oh heart believe

Let faith rise up in me

Say the word and I will

Set my feet upon the sea

Till I'm dancing in the deep, Lord
