Lyrics: The Only Real Peace

 
Recorded by The Hemphills

Written by Joel Hemphill

C                                             Dm
Life is a few days of trouble a wise man once said
    D7                                                      C
But I’ll not complain for I’m sheltered I’m clothed and I’m fed
                                      C7            F
But many’s the trials my wants and my dreams put me through
        Dm        G7           Dm        G7         C
And the only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you

                                                Dm
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
    D7                                          C
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
                                        C7           F
With all life’s frustrations I need you and I know I do
          Dm        G7           Dm        G7         C
Cause the only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you

                                            Dm
The higher I soar in my dreams the harder I fall
    D7                                                 C
And sometimes I wonder if dreams are worth dreaming at all
                                     C7          F
But my disappointments can’t keep me blinded and blue
    Dm         G7        Dm            G7           C
Not when I'm reminded of sweet peace I have Lord in you

Repeat #2 .
