Peace On Earth Tonight
Curtis Campbell/Barry Williams ©2016
Sitting in the darkness
I can hear the bells
Ringing for the son of God
The first Noel
Thinking about how you were born
And walked without sin
As I pull my blanket close
Hiding from the wind
Take me home to my family
I long to see my father’s eyes
I need Momma’s love to surround me
I need to find peace on earth tonight
Stopped by the mission
I hoped to find a bed
But kind of like when you were born
Nowhere to lay my head
I can see the pretty lights
And I can hear them sing
But my Christmas tree tonight
Protects me from the rain
Take me home to my family
I long to see my father’s eyes
I need Momma’s love to surround me
I need to find peace on earth tonight
Lord I know your love is great
Now I’m on my knees
They tell me any soul you’ll take
Even a wretch like me
Lord take me home to my family
I long to see my father’s eyes
I need Momma’s love to surround me
I need to find peace on earth tonight
Lord take me home to my family
I long to stand in your light
I need your love surround me
I need to find peace on earth tonight
Let me find peace on earth tonight
Lord let me be peace on earth tonight
