Finding Peace: A Soul's Journey Through Aching Hearts
Lyrics
The peace I've found in You is beautiful
The tranquility I've discovered in my connection with You is exquisite.
But still my heart it aches, Oh Lord You know
Despite finding peace in You, my heart still experiences pain; I acknowledge this, Lord.
So be the ruler of my soul
Please take control of my inner being, be the ruler of my soul.
God take this broken heart and make it whole
God, mend this broken heart of mine and restore it to completeness.
The peace I've found in You is beautiful
The peace I've encountered in my relationship with You is truly beautiful.
But still my heart it aches, Oh Lord You know
Despite this, my heart still feels sorrow; I trust that You, Lord, understand.
So be the ruler of my soul
Be the ultimate authority over my soul; take charge, Lord.
God take this broken heart and make it whole
God, heal this shattered heart and bring it back to wholeness.
And help me let the peace of Christ rule in my heart
Guide me to allow the peace that comes from Christ to dominate my heart.
My burden is lighter when
My burdens become lighter when I embrace the peace that Christ offers.
I let the peace of Christ rule in my heart
I experience a lighter heart when I allow the peace of Christ to reign within.
My heart and flesh cry out for You alone
Both my heart and physical being long for You alone, Lord.
For no one else could satisfy my soul
No one else can fulfill the needs of my soul; it cries out for You.
I know better is a single day spent in Your house
I recognize that spending even a single day in Your presence is more valuable than a thousand lifetimes elsewhere.
Than a thousand lifetimes anywhere else
Being in Your house is of greater worth than spending a multitude of lifetimes anywhere else.
So I will let the peace of Christ rule in my heart
Therefore, I choose to allow the peace of Christ to govern my heart.
My burden is lighter when
Embracing the peace of Christ makes my burdens easier to bear.
I let the peace of Christ rule in my heart
I find relief and ease in my heart when I let the peace of Christ take control.
