Did you ever have an empty feeling   Many miles away from home?   Everybody's tryin' to treat you friendly   Yet you're alone      It's taken some time for me to uncover   The purpose he has in my life   Don't know where it will take me   But I know where I've been   And I know it feels so right      I got peace like a river   Flowin' deep in my life   I got peace like a river   And you know it feels so right      I got peace      Now I am not one who can move high mountains   Or part the big Red Sea   Nor can I walk on the water like Peter of Jesus   Or set a lame man free      It's all I can do, someday?s to get through   The valleys here below   I don't feel I deserve a mansion in heaven   But it would please me so      I got peace like a river   Flowin' deep in my life   I got peace like a river   And you know it feels so right      I got peace like a river   Flowin' deep in my life   I got peace like a river   And you know it feels so right      I got peace
