Verse 1:
If somehow I knew
I was leaving earth today
What would be the last words
I would want to say?
I would reassure you
That when winter winds blow
It takes the chill of winter
For the deepest roots to grow
Just before Jesus
Rose to heaven’s throne
Blessed words of comfort
He left for His own
Peace I leave with you
So do not be afraid
Stay ever resting
Resting in Jesus name
Chorus:
Though kingdoms rise
Though kingdoms fall
There is a precious kingdom
That knows peace and calm
It is the quiet heart
By the Christ-Child filled
Where Emanuel
Whispers, Peace be still….
Peace be still
Verse 2:
We are gripped with fear
We argue and we war
When unto us a Savior
Has already been born
Let Bethlehem’s Promise
Soothe the people’s cries
All government rests
On His shoulders so wide
Yes, all government rests
On His shoulders wide
Chorus:
Oh blessed state
Oh blessed wait
For Christ’s return
Our souls to liberate
Yes! A Prince of Peace
Unto us is given
And of His kingdom
There shall be no end
Oh of His kingdom there shall be no end.
