Jason Upton - Peace Lyrics

I want to know Your heart
Like a child knows his father
I want to know Your voice
Like my little boy knows my voice
I hear You at a distance
When the world can't make it out
I can hear it coming
Your voice, oh Father
Your voice, oh Father
A still small voice

I want to hear Your voice, oh Father
Even when it seems at a distance
When people think I'm crazy
For thinking I can hear You
I wanna know Your voice, O Father
I wanna hear it coming
I wanna be the first around the corner
Take Your hand and walk with You
To the chair that You have
Sit down on Your lap and hold on

Sometimes that's all we do as children
Is just hear Your voice come running around the corner
And hold on
Sometimes that's what it feels like to be a child of God
It's just holding on

And I declare over you the enemy's camp tonight
Is not fearful of a generation puffed up with Christian pride
But a childlike generation
That all it knows how to do is hold on

I wanna hold on to You, Father
More than I run and play or dance around
I wanna hold on to You, Father
Sit on Your lap and hear Your voice whisper over me
In the mist of the storm
Peace
Oh, I give You peace
The strength of a generation is peace
Jesus said, I wanna give you peace, oh children
Oh, the peace that comes beyond the understanding
Oh, the peace that comes from knowing the whisper of the Father

I give you peace
In the midst of your brokenness
I give you peace
In the midst of your emptiness
I give you peace
In the midst of the moments when you feel so dry
I give you peace
I give you peace, I will
I give you peace
When you feel you can't go on
I give you peace
When rejection's far too much
I give you peace, oh yeah
When the shame, the shame's too unbearable
And the world seems so cruel
I give you, I give you peace
The times You take it all
I give you peace
The times when You are fearful
I give you peace
Peace of a child holding on

I wanna see the cloud
The cloud coming
When no one else sees the cloud
I wanna see when it's coming
Gimme eyes, oh Father, and faith like a child
And the ability to feel the same and know it
I see it coming now, yeah, yeah
I wanna see You coming
Before the world
I wanna see You coming

I wanna know You're coming
Over the armies, over the warriors
I know You're coming, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're coming to rescue me, yeah, yeah
I know You're coming, yeah, yeah, yeah
In the midst of the trial, yeah
I know You're coming, yeah, yeah, yeah
In the midst of the circumstance
I know You're coming
So, I'll wait

And restlessness is only that of a child waiting for his dad
Shaking on the inside
Can't wait 'til You come home
Can't wait 'til You come home
Can't wait 'til You come home
Oh yeah
Can't wait 'til You come home
Gimme the faith of a child
With a restlessness inside
Just waiting to see you, Father
Before anyone else sees You

Waiting to hear You, Father
When your voice is still off in the distance
I hear You calling
I can hear You coming
Kingdom coming
I wanna be Your child
