PEACE AND JOY

Lord, restore peace in our hearts and joy in our soul. (l)
Help us to remember you are always in control. (2)

Sometimes we forget that your Spirit dwells within us. (3)
We get lost in life and fail to give you our faith and trust. (4)

We become overwhelmed with the worlds situation. (5)
We mourn for the lost people of each generation. (6)

Grant us the peace that passes all understanding. (7)
Give us joy in a ruthless world that’s so demanding.

Rekindle the fire where there was once a burning flame. (8)
Help us win the good fight and give voice to all you proclaim. (9)

When our burdens are heavy Lord please lighten our load. (10)
When we travel a bent and curvy lane straighten the road. (11)

When our hearts hurt and we feel saddened with grief.
Help us remember that we are but a mist and time is brief. (12)

When we feel sorrow and fear that this too shall not pass.
Lord, restore our faith and know that you will come alas. (13)
