This Peace Within My Soul

THERE'S A JOY WITHIN MY HEART AND SOUL
THAT WORDS CAN NEVER EXPLAIN. 
AND IT COMES FROM KNOWING JESUS CHRIST.
AND BELIEVING ON HIS NAME. 

I WAS JUST A DYING LONELY SINNER 
WITH NOTHING AT ALL TO GIVE, 
UNTIL I MET MY JESUS 
AND HE CAME TO MY HEART TO LIVE. 

I DON'T CLAIM TO BE PERFECT NOW 
MANY TIMES I MAY FALL, 
BUT WHEN I CALL ON JESUS. 
HE IS THERE TO TAKE MY CALL. 

I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT HIM TODAY
WITH MY SORROW AND MY PAIN 
FOR MANY TIMES HES CARRIED ME 
AND LIFTED ME UP AGAIN. 

THE CROSS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
AND THANKS TO CALVARY, 
I CAN BARE MY PAIN AND SORROW
AND MY SINS ARE NOW SET FREE.
