Did you ever have an empty feeling Many miles away from home? Everybody's tryin' to treat you friendly Yet you're alone It's taken some time for me to uncover The purpose he has in my life Don't know where it will take me But I know where I've been And I know it feels so right I got peace like a river Flowin' deep in my life I got peace like a river And you know it feels so right I got peace Now I am not one who can move high mountains Or part the big Red Sea Nor can I walk on the water like Peter of Jesus Or set a lame man free It's all I can do, somedays to get through The valleys here below I don't feel I deserve a mansion in heaven But it would please me so I got peace like a river Flowin' deep in my life I got peace like a river And you know it feels so right I got peace like a river Flowin' deep in my life I got peace like a river And you know it feels so right I got peace
