The tree branches freely blow back and forth with purpose
Why does my life seem plain ole worthless
Frustration and anger ride in my pocket everyday
I try to empty them out but they keep coming back my way
Give me peace oh give me peace
Give me peace like a river
I watch the water flow smooth and still
I am seeking peace let me go climb that highest hill
Maybe God will see me there if I can be quiet and listen
Give me peace ohhhhhhhhhhh give me peace
Give me peace for my soul
God doesn’t answer me you know
Guess I need to cleanse my heart
Then pray with that new beginning new start
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Give me peace for my soul
Give me peace like a river
Lord free my mind from anxiety negativity and fear
Come close to me oh Lord ever so near
So it can be well
it can be well
with my soul
Your all seeing eyes watch over me and give me rest within you
Give me peace ohhhhhhhhhhh give me peace
Give me peace for my soul
God doesn’t answer me you know
Guess I need to cleanse my heart
Then pray with that new beginning new start
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Give me peace for my soul
Give me peace like a river
Give me peace for my soul.
