Why downcast oh, my soul Having a heavy heart in hand Knowing full His promise still remains That He would safely guide If on His shoulders I would lean And in His perfect will I would remain The battle rages on And weakens my confidence Confusion urges me to curse the day But when I patient wait Under the shadow of His wing Then I softly hear the Spirit say The peace that passes on All your understanding Shall guard your heart and mind Through Christ Jesus The peace that passes on All your understanding Shall guard your heart and mind Through Christ Jesus The peace that passes on All your understanding Shall guard your heart and mind Through Christ Jesus The peace that passes on All your understanding Shall guard your heart and mind Through Christ Jesus
