James Cleveland - Peace Be Still lyrics
rate meVerse 1<br />
Master, the tempest is raging.<br />
The billows are tossing high.<br />
The sky is o'er shadowed with blackness, <br />
No shelter or help is nigh.<br />
Carest Thou not that we perish?<br />
How canst Thou lie asleep, <br />
When each moment so madly is threatning, <br />
A grave in the angry deep?<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
The winds and the waves<br />
Shall obey my will, peace be still.<br />
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea<br />
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be.<br />
No water can swallow the ship where lies<br />
The Master of ocean and earth and skies; <br />
They shall sweetly obey my will, <br />
Peace be still, peace be still.<br />
They all shall sweetly obey my will; <br />
Peace, peace be still.<br />
<br />
Verse 2<br />
Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today.<br />
The depths of my sad heart are troubled.<br />
Oh, waken and save, I pray! <br />
Torrents of sin and of anguish<br />
Sweep o'er my sinking soul, <br />
And I perish! I perish! dear Master.<br />
Oh, hasten and take control! <br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
Verse 3<br />
Master, the terror is over, the elements sweetly rest.<br />
Earth's sun in the calm lake is mirrored, <br />
And heaven's within my breast.<br />
Linger, O blessed Redeemer! <br />
Leave me alone no more, <br />
And with joy I shall make the blest harbor<br />
And rest on the blissful shore.<br />
<br />
Chorus
