with I've Got Peace like a River-Uses: Children General Youth Scripture: Psalm 72:3 Isaiah 48:18 Isaiah 66:12 Here is an encouraging and positive statement of faith that will raise spirits from despair to hope. Taken from the inspiring poetic legacy of young peacemaker and author Mattie J.T.

I have a song that's living in me more than words and a tune. It's a song with such beautiful things and I want to share it with you. Mattie J.T. Stepanek's words from his book of collected poems Journey Through Heartsongs is the creative force for this choral work. Set with a playful piano accompaniment the vocals dance between unison and two-part writing full of joy and happiness hope and love. A superb choice for young singers.
