Lyrics
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
In my life, in my soul
In my heart, I give control
My whole life, will You hold
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
When I am tired
When I am weak
When the storm is breaking me
Just a word, will You speak
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
King of kings
Lord of lords
We exalt Your name
King of kings
Lord of lords
We exalt Your name
When I turn the other cheek
And I let my striving cease
Help me love my enemies
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
King of kings
Lord of lords
We exalt Your name
King of kings
Lord of lords
We exalt Your name
King of kings
Lord of lords
We exalt Your name
King of kings
Lord of lords
We exalt Your name
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King
There is peace
There is peace
There is peace when Christ is King

Meaning & Inspiration
There Is Peace presents the reign of Christ as the source of rest in personal weakness, inner conflict, and strained relationships. Its repeated declaration gives the song a communal worship shape, while the verses make that confession practical. Control is surrendered, divine help is sought during a storm, striving is set aside, and love for enemies becomes evidence of life under the King.
Several lyric images closely follow biblical teaching. The request for a word to calm a breaking storm recalls the Gospel account in which Jesus rebukes the wind and sea. The appeal for help in loving enemies directly echoes the command in Matthew 5:44, and the title given to Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, appears in Revelation 19:16. The song therefore describes peace as more than a quiet feeling. Peace is tied to the authority of Christ and expressed through trust, surrendered control, praise, and mercy toward opponents. Its repetition reinforces a simple claim: when Christ rules the heart, fear and striving no longer have the final word.
