"Peace," A GOSPEL SONG

VERSE:

Somebody’s standing at my front door.

He’s got a shot gun that’s loaded for sure. 

Don’t know what he really wants from me. 

If I knew, I might kindly ask him to leave. 

 

CHORUS:

You can give away your heart.

You can lose a lot of time.

You can let out your every breath,

But if you want to make it through this life,

Keep your peace, keep your peace.

Keep your peace, oh, keep your peace.

 

VERSE:

There are certain things that you just can’t lack.

What you choose to give, you can’t always get back.

Take whatever you want from my bank account.

But leave me with harmony in a greater amount. 

 

CHORUS:

You can give away your heart.

You can lose a lot of time.

You can let out your every breath,

But if you want to make it through this life,

Keep your peace, keep your peace.

Keep your peace, oh, keep your peace.

 

BRIDGE:

It’s more than the absence of war. 

It’s being filled with conviction to your core.

 

CHORUS:

You can give away your heart.

You can lose a lot of time.

You can let out your every breath,

But if you want to make it through this life,

Keep your peace, keep your peace.

Keep your peace, oh, keep your peace.

TAG:

Keep your peace, keep your peace.

Keep your peace, oh, keep your peace.
