we are on a journey and there is no destination If you’ve made it then you missed it somewhere along the way It is in the breaking It’s in the Joy and in the Sorrow That we learn that life is borrowed from a good and gracious king It ain't an easy thing I have travelled And I have moved the road beneath me To find an answer to the mystery But all I found was wind And it was not in the earthquake And it was not in fire But the answer finally found me In the whisper of a friend. Right where it's always been. So hold on, until his peace becomes a river, until his peace becomes a river just hold on. and when you’re drowning when you are drowning in his mercy when you are drowning in his mercy, just let go. Now, I have prayed for brighter days And seen my days grow darker still I have cried a thousand tears And felt a broken heart And I have fallen to my knees I've asked him why, And begged him please And lovingly he said to me What I now say to you hold on, until his peace becomes a river, until his peace becomes a river just hold on. and when you’re drowning when you are drowning in his mercy when you are drowning in his mercy, just let go. Let the fear be gone.

If I'm just a mist And I'm gone in a jiff What am I leaving behind me? Who am I serving It's rather unnerving Believing in something as small as myself. So when you speak I hope I'm listening And not counting dollars, starching my collar, Worrying bout things that mean nothin, nothin to you. INTERLUDE And If the eye of a needle Is all that is equal To my chance at eternity Why would I waste it When its so easily tasted By letting go of everything? So when you speak I hope I’m listening and not trying to open a door that your closin' worrying bout things that mean nothin, nothin to... You call me to give just like you gave and just like you came you call me to go But just like a bird is chained to the skyway I’m trained to believe I’m better off my way How do I break it? Can I forsake it? Without you, it’s pointless In my riches, I’m naked I need you to move me and I need you to move I don’t want to miss it because I’m trying to prove you So when you speak, I hope I’m listening, not speaking in tongues, empty of love worrying about things that mean nothing, nothing to you.

I Will Stand 05:39
When my cup is full and overflowing and your love feels like enough to keep me going And I stand in your light fully knowing I am not alone When I hear the sound of my enemies feet and when my broken heart is in retreat when I’ve lost everything and I'm defeated and all alone I will stand I will stand I will stand on your promise. 2x I have felt abandoned by you, Jesus but then I am reminded you are with us And even when we doubt you, you forgive us and call us your own And I have seen the hopelessness around me turn to hope in the light of your mercy I know that you surround and you uphold me and call me your own. So I will stand I will stand I will stand on the Promise. 2x By fame, riches, or bread alone I do not live, no, I live on every word that comes from you oh God. So I will stand I will stand I will stand on the Promise. 2x

Is everything sad gonna come untrue just because I believe in you Well, I don’t know, but what else I can do I got an achin in my heart and it aint a lie tearing me apart No, its the truth that I find so hard So teach me wisdom in the secret place I don’t have to see your face I know that just a little taste Is enough to get me through, to get me through. Why should I have everything? It makes no sense, but all the same I expect it like Im owed something. And why don’t you feel like enough? I believe you are, but it don’t help much And I end up lookin for answers in the dust. So teach me wisdom in the secret place I don’t have to see your face I know that just a little taste Is enough to get me through, to get me through. I tried to build your garden but Im no good with my hands I tried to walk on water but I couldn’t leave the sand The only thing that keeps me trying is your voice telling me I can So teach me wisdom in the secret place I don’t have to see your face I know that just a little taste Is enough to get me through, to get me through.

Make me a place at your table invite my enemies teach me to love like you love how you love me hold me like a mother until the child inside me sees the sum of all that I am Is in your love for me. And Breathe over me Open up my eyes Breathe over me And make these bones come alive Make me a place at Your table Face to face with my grief Tell me that it's ok And then hold me while I grieve Hold me like a mother Hold me till I see The Sum of all that I am Is in your love for me And Breathe over me Open up my eyes Breathe over me And make these bones come alive Let praise rise from my lips Teach me your ways That you are good And your love endures always.

Oh Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth. You set your glory high above the heavens. Oh Lord Who am I that you are mindful of me? The moon and stars are the works of your hand. I am just a child but my mouth speaks truth and my lips know the strength of what your word can do who am I Lord who am I who am I that you would care for me? who am I Lord who am I that you would crown me with glory, and crown me with honor, who am I? Oh Lord I will give thanks with all of my heart I’ll be glad and I'll find my joy in you! Oh Lord You shelter the weary and the weak you keep me safe when there’s trouble at my door I am just a child but my mouth speaks truth and my lips know the strength of what your word can do who am I Lord who am I who am I that you would care for me? who am I Lord who am I that you would crown me with glory, and crown me with honor who am I who am I

about

Stefan Cashwell's new record, "Peace Becomes A River", is an attempt to make sense of the journey from sorrow to joy. It was recorded in a cabin in the woods, surrounded by close friends, just trying to capture a moment in time.
