Everlasting Peace
.
By Phil Cross

Verse 1
I don’t understand at all this heavy burden
The raging battle, the endless fight
I don’t see a way for God to lead me through it
Through what would seem to be a never-ending night.

Chorus
Yet I rise beyond the tempest,
To a place where angry billows cease,
Through it all I stand in freedom surrendered to
the everlasting peace.

Verse 2
There’s a spring of living water in the desert
There’s a refuge in every storm
There is manna for the struggling in the
wilderness
Who allow themselves to rest inside His arms.

Chorus
Yet I rise beyond the tempest,
To a place where angry billows cease,
Through it all I stand in freedom surrendered to
the everlasting peace.

Bridge
Ever distant, always near
Ever present, God is here

Chorus
Yet I rise beyond the tempest,
To a place where angry billows cease,
Through it all I stand in freedom surrendered to
the everlasting peace.

Through it all I stand in freedom
Surrendered to the everlasting peace
Surrendered to the everlasting peace.
