Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The raging seas of my heart
Through every trial and every fear
Jesus I know you're near
Peace be still
Peace be still
In the name of Jesus
Peace be still
In the name of Jesus
In my affliction
You are my shield
You never let me go
Your word is comfort
Your name is power
I rest in You my savior
Peace be still
Peace be still
In the name of Jesus
Peace be still
Peace be still
In the name of Jesus
In the sleepless nights
In the darkest times
You are there with me
When the morning comes
And I can feel the sun
You are there with me
Peace be still
Peace be still
In the name of Jesus
Peace be still
Peace be still
In the name of Jesus
