Living Peacefully in a Peaceless World
Verse 1:
A F#m D A
When I drive my car or I take a train, there’s an angry world out there
D A Bm E
Each day arrives, and so many lives have heavy loads to bear
A F#m D A
Then Jehovah’s words come back to me, ‘Be patient, calm and kind
D A Bm E D C#m Bm
And no matter where, say a silent prayer for a peaceful state of mind
Chorus:
A E F#m A D
Living peacefully in a peaceless world is easier said than done
A E F#m D E D A E F#m D A E
But if you can do it now, just imagine how it’ll feel when the new world comes!
Verse 2:
A F#m D A
Then I get to work and the day seems good, but I’m feeling things might change
D A Bm E
Without a doubt, the storm breaks out, but I’m keeping out of range
A F#m D A
I recall the words that I read before: ‘Life’s more than what you see’
D A Bm E D C#m Bm
That behind the scorn may be a heart that’s torn and in need of sympathy
D A Bm E D C#m Bm
And no matter where, say a silent prayer for a peaceful state of mind
Chorus:
A E F#m A D
Living peacefully in a peaceless world is easier said than done
A E F#m D E D A E F#m D A E
But if you can do it now, just imagine how it’ll feel when the new world comes!
Bridge:
D E F#m D E A
It’s never an easy ride when you’re going against the tide
D E C# F#m Bm E
In a world that’s lost and torn apart, ‘The God of peace will guard your heart’
Verse 3:
A F#m D A
Then the weekend comes and we’re taking turns sharing good news door to door
D A Bm E
But something someone heard brings an angry word and we hear the lion roar
A F#m D A
With the Bible’s word speaking loud and clear, we prepare to ‘take our leave’
D A Bm E D C#m Bm
There’s 'no wood about, so the fire goes out' and we go our way in peace
Chorus:
A E F#m A D
Living peacefully in a peaceless world is easier said than done
A E F#m D E D A E F#m D A E
But if you can do it now, just imagine how it’ll feel when the new world comes!
Chorus:
A E F#m A D
Living peacefully in a peaceless world is easier said than done
A E F#m D E D A E F#m D A E
But if you can do it now, just imagine how it’ll feel when the new world comes!
