Peace in the Valley
Anne Murray · What a Wonderful World [Straightway Records] [1999]
Well, I'm tired and so weary but I must go along
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away
Oh, the morning's so bright and the lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea.
There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me for me.
Well the bear will be gentle and the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lie down by the lamb
And the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed from this creature that I am.
There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me for me.
There will be peace in the valley for me for me...
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away
Oh, the morning's so bright and the lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea.
There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me for me.
Well the bear will be gentle and the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lie down by the lamb
And the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed from this creature that I am.
There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me for me.
There will be peace in the valley for me for me...
