The Oak Ridge Boys' song 'Peace Within' describes a spiritual journey from hardship to rest in God. The lyrics use imagery of a rocky road, deep rivers, and a sailor finding harbor to convey finding peace and safety in God's love. The song emphasizes that God is the ultimate destination and source of inner peace, ending the wandering of the soul.
Well the road has been rocky
My path has been steep
The rivers I've crossed are so swift and so deep
Somehow the highways have led me to You
And now my direction is true
Peace within, Peace within
You are my journey's end
Home is the sailor safe from the sea
Home is the drifter so thankfully
Anchored at last under clear skies above
Here in Your harbor of love
Peace within, Peace within (No more wanderin')
Peace within, peace within (I'm goin' home)
You are my journey's end
