GARRISON OF PEACE [Intro — Atmospheric Piano, Ambient Guitar] When the world comes crashing down, I know I'm not alone. There's a shelter in Your presence, There's a peace I've always known. [Verse 1] My mind is like a battlefield, A thousand voices in the night, Every fear becomes a giant, Every shadow comes alive. I'm trying hard to hold together All the pieces falling through, Then I feel Your Spirit whisper, "Child, I'm here. I'm holding you." [Pre-Chorus — Drums Begin to Build] When my thoughts become a wildfire, When my heart forgets to breathe, You are standing in the silence, Calling me to believe. [Chorus — Full Band] You are my garrison of peace, My shelter when the thunder rolls. When the waves come crashing over me, You're the anchor for my soul. No fear can breach the walls You build, No darkness gets the final word. The storm may rage around me, Lord, But Your voice is all I've heard. You surround me, You defend me, You won't let my spirit fall. My garrison of peace, You're my refuge through it all! [Verse 2] I don't have to fight each battle With the strength I cannot find. I can lay my weapons down here, Leave my worries at Your side. You don't promise skies without rain, You don't say the winds won't blow, But You promise I'll never face them Without You there to hold me close. [Pre-Chorus] When my thoughts become a wildfire, When my heart forgets to breathe, You are stronger than the chaos, And Your peace is covering me. [Chorus] You are my garrison of peace, My shelter when the thunder rolls. When the waves come crashing over me, You're the anchor for my soul. No fear can breach the walls You build, No darkness gets the final word. The storm may rage around me, Lord, But Your voice is all I've heard. You surround me, You defend me, You won't let my spirit fall. My garrison of peace, You're my refuge through it all! [Bridge — Piano and Strings, Gradual Build] The storm is raging outside, But the walls are standing strong. You're the anchor in the water When the current pulls me on. You have built a garrison of peace All around my restless mind, And Your love is driving out the shadows That have haunted me at night. I can hear the thunder crashing, But I'm safe within Your vault. You are faithful, You are steadfast, You will never fail or falter. You stand guard around my soul, You are with me, I am whole. Every whisper speaks of mercy, Every heartbeat says I'm Yours! [Extended Hook — Massive Drums, Strings, Electric Guitar] The storm is raging outside but the walls are too thick! You're the anchor in the water when the current is quick! You have built a garrison of peace all around my mind, Leaving every single shadow and the terror behind! I can hear the thunder crashing but I'm safe in the vault, With a fortress of protection that will never default! Yeah, You stand at the perimeter, guarding my soul, And Your whisper is the power keeping me whole! [Massive Guitar Bend — Vocal Harmonies Swell] KEEPING ME WHOLE! [Final Chorus — Huge Worship Anthem] You are my garrison of peace! My shelter when the thunder rolls! When the waves come crashing over me, You're the anchor for my soul! No fear can breach the walls You build! No darkness gets the final word! The storm may rage around me, Lord, But I know that I am Yours! You surround me! You defend me! Your unfailing love stands tall! My garrison of peace, You're my refuge through it all! [Outro — Band Drops to Piano and Soft Vocals] When the world comes crashing down, I know I'm not alone. You're my shelter in the storm, My defender, my home. My garrison of peace... Forever, Lord, I'm Yours. [Final Sustained Vocal with Ambient Guitar Fade]
