Lyrics
May our God
Bless us with grace
Mercy and peace
And May we always find more room
Around God’s feet
Where there is complete
Rest from the cares of this world
For every woman man boy and girl
I pray we are blessed
With God’s Grace Mercy and
Peace
Peace
Peace
No matter what the winding road
And seasons of life may bring
I pray the spirit of our God is revealed
And leads us to great and marvelous things
Whether we stay standing side by side
Or circumstance means we must say goodbye
I pray we are blessed
With God’s Grace Mercy and
Peace
Peace
Peace
I receive it
I receive it
And I believe
I can see it
On you too
May our God
Watch over us
While we are absent
One from another
Keeping connection
By the resurrection
Power God
Paid for us
All to receive
Rest from the cares of this world
For every man woman boy girl
I pray we are blessed
I pray we are blessed
I pray we are blessed
God’s Grace Mercy and
Peace
Peace
Peace

Meaning & Inspiration
“Always Peace” centers on a spoken blessing of grace, mercy, and peace. Brian Courtney Wilson’s lyrics do not treat peace as merely the absence of trouble. Instead, they place rest at God’s feet amid the cares of the world. The repeated prayer extends that blessing to every woman, man, boy, and girl, making the song both personal and communal.
The second passage acknowledges winding roads, changing circumstances, and partings while still praying for God’s presence to lead and guard. Its language of watching over people while they are absent from one another echoes a biblical benediction. The closing affirmations “I receive it” and “I believe” move from prayer to trust, affirming that God’s peace can be received even when circumstances remain uncertain.
