I write to you of my troubles, I speak of my trials
I like to tell you when I’m down
You smile, and tell me to smile too, saying “It’s okay”
You like to remind me of the day I’ll get a crown

When sorrows overtake me and I lash out in anger
And I try to hurt someone close
You’re no “fairweather friend”, you love me the same
Even when it hurts the most

And you bring me peace, you bring me peace
I am comforted when you are near to me
And you bring me joy, you bring me joy
I see your love for me, and I have to rejoice
And you bring me love, you bring me love
You’ve taught me about the love from above
And you bring me peace

There’s times when evil rises against me and
I see the temptation and want to bow
You pray me through, and tell me it’s wrong
but assure me that you’d love me anyhow

Then cowardice entices me, and carelessness too
Angry, jealous lips spit forth bitterness
But from your heart comes acceptance and love
Your hurt, bleeding heart shows forth forgiveness

And you bring me peace, you bring me peace
I am comforted when you are near to me
And you bring me joy, you bring me joy
I see your love for me, and I have to rejoice
And you bring me love, you bring me love
You’ve taught me about the love from above
And you bring me peace
