Let There Be Peace / Something In The Water

Let there be peace, peace to every nation

Let there be hope for all the world to see

Let there be love and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

If I had one wish on my Christmas list

It wouldn't be for presents under my tree

They'd be no more tears for crying

No more wars for fighting

And every mothеr's child would have enough to eat

So whеn I get down on my knees to pray

I ask the Lord above to light the way

And let there be peace, peace to every nation

Let there be hope for all the world to see

Let there be love and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

When I look in the mirror, all I wanna see

Is true compassion looking back at me

I wanna, I wanna love my neighbor

And be the hands and feet of Jesus

Take his love to the least of these

All I'm asking to be the change

When I get down on my knees, I say

Let there be peace, peace to every nation

Let there be hope for all the world to see

Let there be love and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

Let there be peace, let there be love, let there be joy

For you and me

Let there be peace, let there be love, let there be joy

For you and me, for you and me

Oh, let there be peace, peace to every nation

Let there be hope for all the world to see

Let there be love, yeah, and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

Yeah, peace to every nation

Let there be hope for all the world to see

Let there be love and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

He said: I've been where you've been before

Down every hallway's a slamming door

No way out, no one to come and save me

Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me

Then somebody said what I'm saying to you

Opened my eyes and told me the truth

They said: Just a little faith, it'll all get better

So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm

Changed

And now I'm stronger

There must've been something in the water

Oh, there must've been something in the water

And well, I heard what he said and I went on my way

Didn't think about it for a couple of days

Then it hit me like a lightning late one night

I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn't fight back the tears, so I fell on my knees

Saying: God, if you're there, come and rescue me

Felt love pouring down from above

Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I'm

Changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water

Oh, there must be something in the water

'Cause now I'm singing along to Amazing Grace

Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face

Got joy in my heart, angels on my side

Thank God almighty, I saw the light

Gonna look ahead, no turning back

Live every day, give it all that I have

Trust in someone bigger than me

Ever since the day that I believed I am changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water (amazing grace)

Oh, there must be something in the water (how sweet the sound)

Oh, there must be something in the water (that saved a wretch)

Oh, there must be something in the water (like me)

Oh, yeah

I once was lost

(I am changed)

But now I'm found

(Stronger)

I was blind, but now I see
