James Cleveland - Peace, Be Still
[Lead]
Master, the tempest is raging
The billows are tossing high
The sky is o'ershadowed with blackness
No shelter or help is nigh
Carest thou not that we perish?
How canst thou lie asleep
When each moment so madly is threatning
A grave in the angry deep?
[Lead: Adlib]
(Chorus)
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be
No water can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and sky
They all shall sweetly obey thy will
Peace, peace, be still
(repeat)
Master, the tempest is raging
The billows are tossing high
The sky is o'ershadowed with blackness
No shelter or help is nigh
Carest thou not that we perish?
How canst thou lie asleep
When each moment so madly is threatning
A grave in the angry deep?
[Lead: Adlib]
(Chorus)
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
Peace, be still
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be
No water can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and sky
They all shall sweetly obey thy will
Peace, peace, be still
(repeat)

What do you think about this song?
I have always loved Peace Be Still --it fills me up. This is my favorite of all of James Cleveland s song. I play it many times in the morning--like I m doing right now--especially after my morning devotions. I listen to it in my car, home and at work-- Peace BE Still.

I love this song. My father has it on an LP. He played it all of the time when I was little.
