When I drive my car or I take a train,
There’s an angry world out there
Each day arrives, and so many lives
Have heavy loads to bear
Then Jehovah’s words come back to me,
‘Be patient, calm, and kind,
And no matter where, say a silent prayer for
A peaceful state of mind’
(CHORUS)
Living peacefully in a peaceless world
Is easier said than done
But if you can do it now, just imagine how
It’ll feel when the new world comes!
2Then I get to work, and the day seems good,
But I’m feeling things might change
Without a doubt, the storm breaks out,
But I’m keeping out of range
I recall the words that I read before:
‘Life’s more than what you see’—
That ‘Behind the scorn
May be a heart that’s torn
And in need of sympathy’
(CHORUS)
Living peacefully in a peaceless world
Is easier said than done
But if you can do it now, just imagine how
It’ll feel when the new world comes!
(BRIDGE)
It’s never an easy ride
When you’re going against the tide
In a world that’s lost and torn apart,
‘The God of peace will guard your heart’
3Then the weekend comes,
And we’re taking turns
Sharing good news door to door,
But something someone heard
Brings an angry word,
And we hear the lion roar
With the Bible’s words
Speaking loud and clear,
We prepare to ‘take our leave’
There’s “no wood” about, so the fire goes out
And we go our way in peace
(CHORUS)
Living peacefully in a peaceless world
Is easier said than done
But if you can do it now, just imagine how
It’ll feel when the new world comes!
(CHORUS)
Living peacefully in a peaceless world
Is easier said than done
But if you can do it now, just imagine how
It’ll feel when the new world comes!
