Let There Be Peace/Something In The Water - LIVE From HBO Max's MY GIFT: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood

Let there be peace

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love

And joy to all the children

Let there be peace on earth for you and me

If I had one wish

On my Christmas list

It wouldn't be for presents

Under my tree

There'd be no more tears for crying

No more wars for fighting

And every mother's child would have enough to eat

So when I get down on my knees to pray

I ask the Lord above to light the way

And let there be peace

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love

And joy to all the children

Let there be peace on earth for you and me

When I look in the mirror

All I wanna see is true compassion looking back at me

I wanna, I wanna love my neighbor

And be the hands and feet of Jesus

Take his love to the least of these

All I'm asking is to be the change

When I get down on my knees I say

Let there be peace

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love

And joy to all the children

Let there be peace on earth for you and me

Let there be peace

Let there be love

Let there be joy for you and me

Let there be peace

Let there be love

Let there be joy for you and me

For you and me

Oh

Let there be peace

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love, yeah

And joy to all the children

Let there be peace on earth for you and me

Yeah

Peace to every nation

Let there be hope

For all the world to see

Let there be love

And joy to all the children

Let there be peace on earth for you and me

'Cause let there be peace on earth for you and me

Let there be peace on earth for you and me

He said, "I've been where you've been before

Down every hallway's a slamming door

No way out, no one to come and save me

Wasting the life that the good Lord gave me

" Then somebody said what I'm saying to you

Opened my eyes and told me the truth

They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better." So I

Followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must've been something in the water

Oh, there must've been something in the water

Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way

Didn't think about it for a couple of days

Then it hit me like lightning late one night

I was all out of hope and all out of fight

Couldn't fight back the tears so I fell on my knees

Saying, "God, if you're there, come and rescue

Me." Felt love pouring down from above

Got washed in the water, washed in the blood

And now I'm changed

And now I'm stronger

There must be something in the water

Oh, there must be something in the water

'Cause now I'm singing along to amazing grace

Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
