I KNOW GOD ... I KNOW PEACE

When I was young ... I reached for golden rings
And I searched for reason ... in many things
As time went by ... and I grew older
I ventured forth ... and I grew bolder

Then troubles met me ... and brought me grief
Through bottled spirits ... I sought relief
There was so much suffering .. toil .. and strife
I was in a battle ... for my life
The pain that found me ... simply would not cease
Once I was captured ... there was no release

I had no God ... I had no peace

Through my forlorn ways ... I knew only sin
I fought in a war ... I simply could not win
I could not distinguish ... between foe and friend
For in this conflict ... I found there was no end
That's when I discovered ... that my enemy
Was the one that dwelt ... within my inner me

I had no God ... I had no peace

So I turned to God ... and now through my belief
From all that had plagued me ... I now know relief
The fog has lifted ... I can now plainly see
For I have a Savior ... who brings me victory
now
I know God ... and I know peace
now
I know God ... and I know peace
