SONG NOTES

Peace Like a River is an African-American spiritual, and is featured in many Christian hymnals and song traditions; the text is thought to refer to the biblical verse Galatians 5:22, which describes the first three items of the “fruit of the spirit” to be love, joy, and peace.

Additional lyrics:

I have joy like a fountain, I have joy like a fountain, I have joy like a fountain in my soul…

I have love like the ocean, I have love like the ocean, I have love like the ocean in my soul…
