(I Wish I Were At) Peace Lyrics by Steven S. Billings

Old Luggage

2014

I am not a peaceful man; How I wish I were!
I wish, I pray, for the day That my soul's at rest
For I can't seem to be, No matter how I try
To be at peace, sweet release To smooth my knitted brow
But my worries and my fears, My anger and my tears
Can't conceal, but reveal, I'm still in the test
For others I can see, But it's not meant for me
I've never known what others own; Perhaps someday, somehow
I'll be at peace; I'll be at rest
With all my cares behind me And my arms across my chest
With eyelids closed And six feet down
My soul will fly to heaven While my body's in the ground
And finally I'll have found
My peace
Until then I'll carry on, Living day by day
Knowing You are with me too, Walking hand in hand
If only knowing this Could bring me some relief
Could take control of my soul And mend this shattered man
For knowing doesn't heal Or make griefs go away
When woes torment, won't relent, And darkness rules the day
I bring my heart to You And lay it at Your feet
It always serves to calm my nerves With hope of that shining land
Where I'll have peace; I'll be at rest
With all my cares behind me And my arms across my chest
With eyelids closed And six feet down
My soul will fly to heaven While my body's in the ground
And finally I'll have found
My peace
