Verse 1
I’ve waited on calm like it owed me a day,
Thought peace would come when the storm moved away.
I tried to outrun every shadow and doubt,
But the road kept shaking no matter the route.
Then You met me here in the middle of it all,
Not fixing the wind—just steadying my soul.
Pre-Chorus
I stopped asking why the night stayed long,
And started leaning on who You are.
Chorus
Peace isn’t the absence of trouble I face,
It’s the presence of God holding me steady in place.
When the waves don’t part and the noise won’t cease,
You stand with me—and that’s my peace.
I don’t need quiet skies or a perfect release,
I just need You close—Your presence is peace.
Verse 2
I’ve learned the dark doesn’t mean You’re gone,
Sometimes the fire is where faith grows strong.
You don’t promise easy, You promise near,
A faithful whisper louder than fear.
When answers wait and the path feels steep,
Your hand in mine is enough for me.
Pre-Chorus
I don’t measure peace by what I can see,
I measure it by who’s walking with me.
Chorus
Peace isn’t the absence of trouble I face,
It’s the presence of God giving rest to my faith.
When the night stays heavy and hope feels thin,
You breathe on my heart—I’m alive again.
I don’t need the storm to finally cease,
I just need You here—Your presence is peace.
Bridge (build)
If the valley’s long, I won’t turn around,
You’ve never left me on this ground.
In every season, in every release,
You are the calm that carries me.
Breakdown (quiet, prayerful)
Stay with me, Lord…
That’s all I need.
Final Chorus (Lift)
Peace isn’t the absence of trouble I see,
It’s the presence of God anchoring me.
Through fire and flood, through joy and grief,
Your nearness is my victory.
I won’t wait for perfect days to believe,
I’ll trust You now—Your presence is peace.
Outro (soft, resolved)
Not the quiet…
But You.
