I am so excited to announce the second single, “My Peace Is Jesus”, from my upcoming Great Awakening worship album, is now available on all music platforms!
If there is one word that is safe to say every person on the planet needs and wants to experience more than anything in their life right now, it is … PEACE. Not the self-manufactured, sounds good in a self-help book kind of peace. But the real actual peace that can only be found in Jesus. The kind of peace that stills your soul when logic and reasoning would tell you to be freaking out. The world is on fire right now. Chaos, misinformation, deception, manipulative games of lies at every turn. We’re in a battle of good vs. evil, dark vs. light, God vs. Satan. In the last couple years, that battle has intensified, the fire has grown hotter, pushing us closer to the point of boiling over. We know now more tangibly than we ever have that Jesus is our only hope. He’s the only source of peace there is.
While we were working on this album, we were about halfway through the recording process, and I was thinking through the song list. I told my producer Sean, “There is one song we are missing … this album needs a song of peace, a song of rest to sing over people … we need to sing Jesus over people”. This song was birthed as the result of that prayer.
The first version of this song was all about the ways God brings us peace. But then during the writing process, it dawned on us, “God doesn’t bring us peace … He IS our peace”. Peace is not a thing or an emotion or an attribute that is found in Jesus … peace IS Jesus. Jesus is peace. Peace is who Jesus is. Jesus is all we need. When we speak His Name, we speak peace into the atmosphere. When we trust Him, we have peace, because we have Him.
Of all the songs on this album, “My Peace Is Jesus” is the one I personally need the most right now. Because I need to be reminded daily, hourly, that JESUS is what I need. Jesus and nothing else.
I hope and pray this song can be a therapeutic balm for your soul during this crazy time we’re all living in. I hope this song pushes you deeper into the arms of Jesus. I hope this song settles your nerves, silences your fears, and helps your heart focus on Jesus and Jesus only.

MY PEACE IS JESUS

Verse 1
The world sings a siren song
A symphony of chaos
Inviting me to sing along
With melodies of madness
Oh, but groaning in the madness is

Oh Your Name is peace over me
Peace, peace
Oh Your Name is peace over me

You’re whispering into my night
I’m frozen in the stillness
This captivating lullaby
Is where my fear is silenced
Oh, my every fear is silenced with
Chorus
Peace, peace
Oh Your Name is peace over me
Peace, peace
Oh Your Name is peace over me
