Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Let there be peace

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

[Verse 2]

If I had one wish

On my Christmas list

It wouldn't be for presents under my tree

There'd be

No more tears for crying

No more wars for fighting

And every mother's child would have enough to eat

[Verse 3]

So when I get down on my knees to pray

I ask the Lord above to light the way

[Verse 4]

And let there be peace

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

[Verse 5]

When I look in the mirror

All I want to see

Is true compassion looking back at me

I wanna, I wanna love my neighbor

And be the hands and feet of Jesus

Take His love to the least of these

All I'm asking is to be the change

When I get down on my knees, I say

[Verse 6]

Let there be peace

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

[Verse 7]

Let there be peace

Let there be love

Let there be joy

For you and me

[Verse 8]

Let there be peace

Let there be love

Let there be joy

For you and me

For you and me

[Verse 9]

Oh, let there be peace

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love, yeah, and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

[Verse 10]

Yeah (Peace), peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love and joy to all the children

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

Let there be peace on Earth for you and me

[Verse 11]

He said, "I've been where you've been before

Down every hallway's a slamming door

No way out, no one to come and save me

Wasting the life that the good Lord gave me

Then somebody said what I'm saying to you

Opened my eyes and told me the truth

They said, 'Just a little faith, it'll all get better'

So I followed that preacher man down to the river"

[Verse 12]

And now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must've been something in the water

Oh, there must've been something in the water

[Verse 13]

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way

Didn't think about it for a couple of days

Then it hit me like lightning late one night

I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn't fight back the tears so I fell on my knees

Saying, "God, if you're there, come and rescue me"

Felt love pouring down from above

Got washed in the water, washed in the blood

[Verse 14]

And now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water

Oh, there must be something in the water

[Verse 15]

'Cause now I'm singing along to Amazing Grace

Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face

Got joy in my heart, angels on my side

Thank God Almighty, I saw the light

Gonna look ahead, no turning back

Live everyday giving all that I have

Trust in someone bigger than me

Ever since the day that I believed

[Verse 16]

I am changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water (Amazing grace)

Oh, there must be something in the water (How sweet the sound)

Ooh, there must be something in the water (That saved a wretch)

Oh, there must be something in the water (Like me)

[Verse 17]

Oh yeah, I once was lost (Changed)

But now I'm found (Stronger)

I was blind but now I see
