VERSE 1:

As I recall the Savior’s love,

And how He died for me

I look back at what I’ve done

Ashamed of what I see

The Father then takes my hand

Says, “I will give you rest”

I am the Way, the Truth, the Life

Come to Me and you’ll be blessed

I’ll give you…

CHORUS:

Peace, peace, wonderful peace

Coming down from the Father above

Sweep over my spirit, forever I pray

In fathomless billows of love

VERSE 2:

Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned

I know what I do

I just keep holding on to what

Separates me from you

Submit, surrender all we are

Words I hear you say

Help me give all that I am

You are the only Way

Please give me…

CHORUS:

Peace, peace, wonderful peace

Coming down from the Father above

Sweep over my spirit, forever I pray

In fathomless billows of love

VERSE 3:

Remember not the former things

I’ll make all things new

Commit your ways unto Me

I’ll carry you through

Be thou faithful until death

There’s light up ahead

I’ll give you the crown of life

I am the living Bread

CHORUS:

Peace, peace, wonderful peace

Coming down from the Father above

Sweep over my spirit, forever I pray

In fathomless billows of love

STORY:

At one point in my life, I became consciously aware of everything I did wrong. I felt like all my past mistakes interfered with my present happiness. I was constantly reminded by myself and other people that I was a great sinner. And I have to admit, at times I sure acted like one! I knew exactly what I was doing - hurting God and injuring myself and others in the process. In so doing, I got to a place where I yearned for peace and to forget the past. God promises us that peace.
