I Found Peace

Another week of hurried moments

Another heart that's running thin

Trying hard to hold it together

But wearing out somewhere within

Then I see Your holy house

Where the noise begins to fade

I come with all the weight I'm carrying

And find the strength to pray

The world keeps calling me to hurry

But here Your whisper calls my name

I found peace inside Your house

I found hope here at Your feet

When the world was loud around me

You were speaking quietly

I came to serve the ones before me

Thinking they were why I came

But every step brought me much closer

To the Prince of Peace

Names I'll probably never meet here

Stories Heaven knows by heart

As I help them take one more step

You're reshaping every part

Somehow every quiet promise

Every ordinance, every prayer

Leaves me looking more like Jesus

Than the person who walked in there

The world still waits beyond these doors

But now I know I'm not alone

I found peace inside Your house

I found hope here at Your feet

When the world was loud around me

You were speaking quietly

I came to serve the ones before me

Thinking they were why I came

But every step brought me much closer

To the Prince of Peace

You don't always calm the storm around me

Sometimes You calm the storm inside

You don't always change my circumstances

You change the way I see my life

In Your house I learn to trust You

In Your love I finally breathe

Every time I come to serve

You're serving me

I found peace inside Your house

I found grace I couldn't earn

Every visit draws me nearer

Every visit helps me learn

I came to bless another family

But now it's easy for me to see

The greatest gift I carried home

Was the peace You gave to me

The peace You gave to me

The peace You gave to me
