Because There Is No Peace

  C                 Am
Because there is no peace, 
  C                 Dm
because there is no certainty,
  C              Am                G
because there is nothing that will last,
        C               Am
because everything that can be shaken,
C                 Dm
it will break and will forsake us,
C            Am         G
leaving only you in the end

          C         F        C      F
    And because the world is crying out,
        C          F      G
    for what, they do not know

           C           F                Dm
    Let me be in you a shelter from the wind,
      G               C              F            G
    a refuge from the storm, flowing water in the desert.
           C             F          Dm
    Let me be the shadow of a great rock
         G               C            Am      G
    in a dry and thirsty land; let me be your peace.

Because there is no hope, 
no vision of a brighter day,
because our fears are great and we are small,
because our earth-born idols die, 
and money cannot satisfy,
and nothing that our hands can hold can stay,

           C
      Your peace:
        F                           C
      a testament to what is yet to be
        F                          C
      a light for all the world to see
      F                                 C
      called to go and set the captives free
             G     F            C
      let me be, O Lord, let me be.
