Hillsong Young and Free has released its new single, Peace. Written by
Michael Fatkin, Benjamin Hastings, and Melodie Wagner, the song is a declaration of faith in God’s power to bring peace to us in the most threatening of situations. While the song itself is encouraging, I have to admit that music video is quite unusual, and I would advise those so inclined to check out the comment section, because I’m glad to see I’m not the only one disturbed by the imagery used to accompany the song.
PEACE Lyrics
Hillsong Young and Free
VERSE 1
You will stay true
Even when the lies come
Your Word remains truth
Even when my thoughts don’t line up
I will stand tall on each promise You made
Let the rest fade away
CHORUS
There’s a peace far beyond all understanding
May it ever set my heart at ease
Dare anxiety come I’ll remember
That peace is a promise You keep
Peace is a promise You keep
VERSE 2
You will stay true
Even in the chaos
Your Word remains truth
Even when my mind wreaks havoc
I will be still for I’ve known all along
My Jehovah Shalom
CHORUS 2
There’s a peace far beyond all understanding
May it ever set my heart at ease
What anxiety fails to remember
Is peace is a promise You keep
Peace is a promise You keep
REPRISE
You are peace to a restless soul
Peace when my thoughts wage war
Peace to the anxious heart
That’s who You are
That’s who You are
You are peace when my fear takes hold
Peace when I feel enclosed
Peace when I lose control
That’s who You are
That’s who You are
CHORUS 3
I’ve found peace far beyond all understanding
Let it flow when my mind’s under siege
All anxiety bows in the presence
Of Jesus the keeper of peace
And peace is a promise He keeps
