caleb mccoy - a painting of peace lyrics

[verse 1]
peace
i heard a rapper say that i don′t want no problems
i actually think they’re right cause i don′t like the drama
some will call it an oasis others say nirvana
either way my soul is heavy and i’m tryna find it

cause n0body wanna be civil
but it seems like civil war could happen any minute
people in desperation when they get pushed to their limit
jesus say he bring peace
but the peace he talkin is different

cause we all looking for peace and quiеt
but some of us confuse peacе with quiet
just because things are quiet doesn′t mean no conflict
things may have to get louder if we′re being honest

and that’s where many are afraid to go
real peace is where the truth can come and make a home
in order to do right, you gotta face the wrong
so instead of saying peace, imma say shalom

[chorus]
yeah, shalom is probably better
shalom is everything working exactly how god intended
it′s pointing out all the evil and bleeding, what’s been oppressive
recovering what was lost and then bringing it to potential
[verse 2]
yeah, see god created this life to flourish
so if you′re gonna fight, make sure you fight with purpose
you gonna find what you need if your life is searching
but best believe you’re gonna have to learn to fly with turbulence
see, jesus said he will bring shalom
taking everything that′s broken and make it whole
that’s spiritual, physical and relational
what a beauty to behold, we are fully known
yeah
so go and be a peacemaker
but it will cost us something, this isn’t cheap labour
starting petty arguments? nah, i′ll see you later
ain′t no time for that, we gotta prepare to meet the maker
yeah, until then i’m praying for peace
this my prayer for the church and the same for the streets
not too long ago i was living dangerously
but my god specializes in taming a beast
so close your eyes and view the blessing of when this
broken world gets glued to heaven
no more studying war, there′s a new obsession
and every useless weapon gets used for mending, yeah

but yet and still the blade is sharp
never mind what you may have thought
this ain’t for the faint of heart
so break apart from the pain and start chasing a greater cause
the grace of god is the type of peace we all been praying for
[chorus]
i say peace but shalom is probably better
shalom is everything working exactly how god intended
it’s pointing out all the evil and bleeding, what′s been oppressive
recovering what was lost and then bringing it to potential
i say peace but shalom is probably better
shalom is everything working exactly how god intended
and pointing out all the evil and bleeding, what’s been oppressive
one day the lion and the lamb are gonna lie down together
amen
shalom is probably better

[outro: mariah anae]
i′ve been afraid
knocked off my feet
i need some faith
i need some peace
but how can i pray
for what i haven’t seen
open my eyes
help me believe

(i’ve been afraid)
i’ve been afraid
(afraid)
knocked off my feet
i need some faith
(i need it)
i need some peace
but how can i pray
(how can i pray)
for what i haven′t seen
(open my eyes)
open my eyes
help me believe
help me believe
help me believe
help me believe
