NOTHING CAN MAR
When we have the peace the gospel brings
Nothing can mar our joy, each heart sings,
Even when mad turmoil rages all around,
True peace of the gospel within is found.

A calming hand soothing a troubled brow,
Even if the gates of hell opened to me now
The peace that truth and light brings to me,
Giving me strength to or’ come the evil I see.

The peace of having His hand holding mine,
The peace of His everlasting pure love divine,
That healing touch that wipes away all fear,
Feeling His sweet calming presence ever near.

Help me Lord keep the peace I have found,
Let His glorious light be always around,
Let this grateful heart never cease to give praise,
May my voice in anthems sweet to thee ever raise.

Sweet gospel peace, always be my guiding light,
Give me the strength to let they love shine bright,
Stay sweet peace, wrap thy loving arms around me,
So here I may know a touch of the joy of eternity.
