Peace, you elude me in my days and dreams
And without you I am wandering
I need you right now more than ever
Joy, you’re the busy friend who always leaves
You’re the family I’ve missed for weeks
Why can’t you stay one moment longer
And hope, O hope, hope, where have you gone

He is the only one who brings me peace
He’s the joy here in my suffering
When everyone has gone

He’s my hope when hope is lost Peace, washing over me in my despair
It’s the comfort that you’re always there
O Lord, I know that you’re beside me
Joy, overflowing from your endless grace
Even though I’m in the depths of pain
O Lord, I know that you sustain me
And hope, O Lord, hope, your hope has come

You are the only one who brings me peace
You’re the joy here in my suffering
When everyone has gone
You’re my hope when hope is lost
