Lyrics

Like wa­ters of a trou­bled sea,
Whose rag­ings ne­ver cease,
My soul cried out in ang­uish deep,
Till Je­sus whis­pered, Peace.

Refrain

Since Je­sus whis­pered, Peace,
Since Je­sus whis­pered, Peace;
I’m sing­ing on life’s jour­ney here,
Since Je­sus whis­pered, Peace.

The voice of Je­sus calmed the storm
That raged and would not cease;
My soul was tossed on an­gry waves,
But Je­sus whis­pered, Peace.

Refrain

The Sav­ior car­ried all my grief
When He be­came my peace;
And now my soul is filled with joy,
For Je­sus whis­pered, Peace.

Refrain

And now I have con­tent­ment here,
From sin I have re­lease;
I’m sing­ing on my way be­low,
Since Je­sus whis­pered, Peace.
