MY PEACE AND JOY (ARE GONE)

Folder: 
Songs

VERSE 1:

 

D

Like a freshwater trout

A

in the middle of the pacific,

G

I am not where I belong,

G7                                   Bm

I'm here, when I should be over there.

D

But, my secret trick

A                                               D7

Is to never let the sharks see my fear.

D                              D7

I just keep swimming along,

A                           D

acting like I'm right where I belong.

 

CHORUS:

 

A                      E

I forgot to seek Your will,

D

and now I feel

A

I'm left all alone

A7                       D

My peace and joy are gone.

 

VERSE 2:

 

I am not where You want me

I'm not doing what You want me to.

I am not where I belong,

But in my quietest moments

my heart misses You.

Without You, my life makes no sense.

I just keep swimming along,

acting like I'm right where I belong.

 

(REPEAT CHORUS)
