Lyrics[]
I talked about the Lord and had Godly ways
And I called myself His for all my days
I thought I knew what life was about
I always tried to figure it out
But the spirit of God surpassed what my mind could know
And so, there's peace in my heart (yes there's peace now in my heart)
And joy in my soul (oh there's joy down in my soul)
For Jesus is my Lord (yes Jesus is now my Lord)
My life He controls (oh my life he controls)
I know this life is now not my own
It's hidden in Christ, and He's on the throne
For the power came down and Jesus took all of me
Oh, and I praise His name for the things He does
Well, He's more than I ever thought He was
From all vain traditions I'm now set free
Oh, He is more than religion, He's my life to me
Well, He's more than philosophy
So much more than just theology
He is the way and He is the truth
He is the life, my all
And He set me free from myself
When on Him I call
And now, there's peace in my heart (yes there's peace now in my heart)
And joy in my soul (oh there's joy down in my soul)
For Jesus is my Lord (yes Jesus is now my Lord)
My life He controls (oh my life he controls)
I know this life is now not my own
It's hidden in Christ, and He's on the throne
For the power came down and Jesus took all of me
Yes, the power came down and Jesus took all of me
