Peace, you elude me in my days and dreams And without you I am wandering I need you right now more than ever Joy, you're the busy friend who always leaves You're the family I've missed for weeks Why can't you stay one moment longer And hope, O hope, hope, where have you gone He is the only one who brings me peace He's the joy here in my suffering When everyone has gone He's my hope when hope is lost Peace, washing over me in my despair It's the comfort that you're always there O Lord, I know that you're beside me Joy, overflowing from your endless grace Even though I'm in the depths of pain O Lord, I know that you sustain me And hope, O Lord, hope, your hope has come You are the only one who brings me peace You're the joy here in my suffering When everyone has gone You're my hope when hope is lost
