Peace – Jason Upton
I want to know your heart, like a child knows his father
I want to know your voice, like my little boy knows my voice
To hear you at a distance, when the world can’t make it out
I can hear it coming your voice oh father; your voice oh father the still small voice
I want to hear your voice oh father, even when it seems at a distance
When people think I’m crazy for thinking I can hear you
I want to know your voice oh father, I want to hear it coming
I want to be the first around the corner to take your hand and walk with you to the chair that you have and sit down on your lap and hold on
Sometimes that’s all we do as children is just hear your voice and come running around the corner and hold on sometimes. That’s what it feels like to be a child of God just holding on
I declare over you the enemy’s camp tonight is not fearful of a generation puffed up with Christian pride but a childlike generation that all it knows how to do is hold on
I want to hold on to you father, more than I run and play or dance around
I want to hold onto you father, sit on your lap and hear your voice whisper over me in the midst of the storm: PEACE.
Oh I give you peace the strength of a generation is peace
Jesus said I wanna give you peace oh children
Oh the peace that comes beyond the understanding
Oh the peace that comes by knowing the whisper of a father
I give you peace in the midst of your brokenness
I give you peace in the midst of your emptiness
I give you peace in the midst of the moments when you feel so dry
I give you peace; I give you peace oh yeah
I give you peace when you feel you can’t go on
I give you peace when rejection’s far too much
I give you peace, oh yeah, when the shame, the shame’s too unbearable
And the world seems so cruel, I give you peace
In times you take all I give you peace
In times you are fearful I give you peace; peace of a child holding on
I wanna see the cloud, the cloud coming, when no one else sees the cloud I wanna say rain’s coming
Give me eyes, oh father, and faith like a child and ability to feel the same and knowing I see you coming now yeah, yeah
I wanna see you coming
Before the world I wanna see you coming
I wanna know you’re coming
Over the army, over the warriors and know your coming
Coming to rescue me yeah, yeah
I know you’re coming
In the midst of the trial I know you’re coming
In the midst of the circumstance I know your coming
So I’ll wait
And the restlessness is only that of a child waiting for his dad
Shaking on the inside
Can’t wait till you come home, can’t wait till you come home, can’t wait till you come home. Oh yeah can’t wait till you come home
Give me the faith of a child with a restlessness inside just waiting to see you father before anyone else sees you
Waiting to hear you father your voice is still off in a distance I hear you calling I can hear you coming; your kingdom coming
I wanna be your child
