I’ve got peace like a river in my soul.
I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul.

The water is wide I cannot cross o’er,
And neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat that can carry two
and both shall row my love and I.

Now love is gentle, and love is kind.
I’ve got love like an ocean in my soul.
Love grows old and waxes cold
and fades away like the morning dew.

Peace, joy, love in my soul.
