This Peace

Sara Groves

So many words to say, but I'm opting for silence

So many days to live

I thinking I'm sitting this one out

Cause something I've been chasing finally stop to let me catch it

Something I've been longing for and dreaming about

It's a whisper in my ear

It's a shiver up my spine

It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right

It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight

This peace

It's something so elusive

Something close but far away

It's the home that I can't live in yet somewhere in outer space

And sometimes I barely miss it when I walk into the room

The curtains are still swaying and I feel the air move

And it whispers in my ear and it shivers up my spine

It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right

It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight

This peace

No time to grab a camera

No time to write it down

Just time enough to breathe it in

And linger

It's a whisper in my ear

It's a shiver up my spine

It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right

It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight

This peace

This peace
