Lyrics Barry McGuire

Barry McGuire

Peace

Sometimes when I'm thinking

Just kind of halfway sleeping

One thought is always the same

It's all about how rich I am

To have a hold of my Savior's hand

That's why I'm praising His Name

He gives me peace, wonderful peace

Holdin' on to my Savior's hand

I found peace, wonderful peace

Holdin' on to my Savior's hand

Then I think of all the sorrow

Coming on the world tomorrow

I know it don't have to be

If only all the selfish hearts

Playing out their selfish parts

Take the time to look up and see

Well, they'd find peace, wonderful peace

Holdin' on to the Savior's hand

Yeah, there's peace, wonderful peace

Holdin' on to the Savior's hand

Don't you know that your position

Isn't caused by some condition?

It's the result of your own choice

But if you stop right now and turn

You could miss the comin' burn

Praise the Lord, lift up your voice

You're gonna find peace, wonderful peace

Holdin' on to the Savior's hand

Yeah, there's peace, wonderful peace

Holdin' on, just a-holdin' on

To the Savior's hand

Peace
