Bruce Cockburn - Peace In The Valley Lyrics

Bruce Cockburn Lyrics

"Peace In The Valley"
(originally by Mahalia Jackson)

Well, I am tired and so weary, but I must toil on
'Til the Lord comes and calls me away
Where the morning is bright and the lamp is the light
And the night is as bright as the day

There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me
Oh, Lord, I pray
No more sadness, no sorrow, no trouble will there be
There will be peace in the valley for me

Well, the bear will be gentle, and the wolf will be tame
And the lion will lay down with the lamb
And the host from the wild will 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
Oh, Lord, I pray
No more sadness, no sorrow, no trouble will there be
There will be peace in the valley for me

There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me
Oh, Lord, I pray
No more sadness, no sorrow, no trouble will there be
There will be peace in the valley for me

There will be peace in the valley for me
