WHEN HE SPEAKS PEACE

OFTENTIMES I’VE WONDERED
EVEN IN MY DARKEST HOUR,
WILL HIS FAITHFUL EARS STILL HEARKEN
TO MY NEEDS AND MY DESIRES.
THEN I HEAR HIS VOICE SO TENDER
SPEAKING SOFTLY IN MY EAR,
THEN I KNEEL TO PRAY IN MY SECRET PLACE
I KNOW HE WILL HEAR,
HE’S ALWAYS THERE.

Chorus
WHEN HE SPEAKS PEACE,
THE RAGING STORMS MUST DIE,
NEW HOPE BECOMES NEW LIFE,
WHEN HE WHISPERS EVERYTHING
WILL BE ALRIGHT.
WHEN HE SPEAKS PEACE,
THE DARK NIGHT SLIPS AWAY
LIKE THE BREAKING OF A DAY,
WHEN JESUS SPEAKS PEACE.

WHEN MY FRIENDS HAVE FAILED ME
AND I’M STANDING ALL ALONE,
WHEN I BECOME DISCOURAGED
AND I FEEL ALL HOPE IS GONE,
THERE’S NO NEED TO BE DISHEARTENED
FOR I HAVE A FRIEND WHO CARES.
WHEN MY FAITH BECOMES WEAK
I CAN KNEEL AT HIS FEET
MY BURDENS HE WILL SHARE.
HE’S ALWAYS THERE.
