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
There'd be no more tears for crying
No more wars for fighting
And every mother's child would have enough to eat
So when 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 is 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
'Cause 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 the 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
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 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
