Your voice has stilled the raging storms
The wind and waves bow down before
Your still small voice brings hope to all
Who wait on You, we'll wait for You
To lead us to the place where You'll restore our souls
And all our earthly strivings come to cease

Take from our souls the strain and stress
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Your peace
The beauty of Your peace

Bright skies will soon be overhead
We'll enter in to Heaven's rest
There'll be no death, there'll be no pain
The things of old will pass away
You'll lead us to the place where You'll restore our souls
And all our earthly strivings come to cease

Behind the Song:
'At the time I wrote this song I was feeling a bit jaded and tired and low. While reading a book of Christian poetry, I came across a line that said, 'Take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of your peace.' How amazing! I just sat down with those words, picked up my guitar and started singing. That line turned into a chorus and then the verses came fairly quickly. Beauty of Your Peace is about holding onto those truths when life seems a bit desperate. Jesus has the power to still the storm, and we have the promise of heaven. That knowledge gives us hope and strength.' - Tim Hughes
