I wrote this song during a time of deep sorrow. I completely forgot that I recorded this video in 2012. I'm certain that I never intended to post it, but I am hoping it will minister to someone. Lyrics Below:
SPEAK PEACE TO ME, JESUS
VERSE
I'VE LIVED A LOT OF DAYS SEEN SO MUCH PAIN
LORD KNOWS I'VE CRIED MY SHARE OF TEARS
THE GRIEF HAS BEEN SO GREAT THERE WERE NO WORDS TO SAY
I'VE BEEN PARALYZED BY FEAR
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN
OR GOD'S SEED BEGGING FOR BREAD
SO I CHOOSE THIS DAY
TO BOW MY HEAD AND PRAY...
CHORUS
SPEAK PEACE TO ME JESUS
SPEAK PEACE TO MY SOUL
PUT YOUR LOVING ARMS AROUND ME
HELP ME WEATHER THE COLD
I'M SURROUNDED BY DARKNESS
HELP ME SEE YOUR LIGHT
SPEAK PEACE TO ME JESUS
SPEAK PEACE TO MY LIFE
BRIDGE:
I'M LOOKIN FOR A BRIGHTER DAY WHEN SORROWS HAVE ENDED
I WANNA BE IN A SUNNY PLACE WHERE BROKEN HEARTS ARE MENDED
BUT UNTIL I SEE YOUR HOLY FACE I CHOOSE TO WALK BY FAITH...
