Description
From Chapter 75, “Peace,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act III: Trust and Letting Go.
Aaron sees that Belle is especially troubled and his words tell us how much he hopes it's not because of him: "If I’m the one playing the wrong tune, tell me now and I’ll be gone soon. I’ll step back, if I’m the weight, don’t want your peace to hesitate." Peace doesn’t come from escaping challenges or controlling others but from recognizing the guiding light within and allowing compassion to lead. It offers a comforting space where vulnerability is met with understanding, and connection is rooted in respect and patience. This song inspires a calm confidence, reassuring you that you are never truly alone.
Lyrics
I’ve learned the sea is not the danger,
It’s losing sight of where you steer.
A storm can teach the soul its courage,
If the harbor still feels near.
I’ve seen people sail forever,
Just to feel they went somewhere.
But peace was never found in distance,
Peace is knowing He is there.
You don’t outrun troubled water,
You don’t curse the wind and win.
Sometimes grace is changing course,
And listening deep within.
Some people only feel taller,
When they cut another smaller.
But I don’t need to win that battle,
I don’t need that fight at all.
I can turn the station softly,
Let the noise fall out of range.
Close my eyes and hear Him whisper,
Peace is not afraid of change.
If I’m the one playing the wrong tune,
Tell me now and I’ll be gone soon.
I’ll step back if I’m the weight,
For your peace I’ll not hesitate.
And if my love feels like safe harbor,
Soft enough to calm the water,
You’re the captain of your ship,
Not alone when you make that trip.
Love that lasts won’t make demands,
Love that nurtures opens hands.
It doesn’t corner, doesn’t plead,
It waits and lets its nature lead.
If my tenderness turns heavy,
If my nearness feels like fear,
You can tell me in a whisper,
And I’ll still be standing here.
When the night keeps getting harder,
And faith feels thin as water,
May my love be your safe harbor,
Where your heart finds its shelter.
May I never be the pressure,
May I never be the chain.
May the love I bring around you,
Protect you from the rain.
If your heart cries from troubled waters,
I hope you’ll see my love is a safe harbor,
Come take your rest…in a safe harbor.
