African-American Spiritual
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river in my soul.
​
I've got pain like an arrow,
I've got pain like an arrow,
I've got pain like an arrow in my soul.
​
I've got strength like a mountain,
I've got strength like a mountain,
I've got strength like a mountain in my soul.
​
I've got joy like a fountain,
I've got joy like a fountain,
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul.
​
I've got determination,
I've got determination,
I've got determination in my soul.
