God's Peace
So many in this world today have not the peace of mind
The searchers without Jesus Christ the Lord hope they will find
They know not of the knowledge of God's will Christ came to give
Because they don't apply His words in how they choose to live
They ponder things instead that have no living attribute
To living life eternal where God's will is absolute
Because they think the burden God would have His children bear
Will take away the pleasures for which other worldlings care
Those pleasures of distraction that are soon to fade away
When fun turns to disaster in the games that people play
When pleasure has to answer for the price that sin demands
So few have stopped to factor in the future they have planned
For in the bigger picture God desires that we should see
This world's about a battle for the souls of you and me
A battle that is raging in those skirmishes each day
Where Satan works in everything to take our peace away
That does not draw us closer to the One we crucified
When by our sins we nailed Him to that cross whereon He died
Where He was mocked and treated in the way that we deserve
To give us life eternal with the angels who now serve
Our Maker our Creator our Redeemer Lord and Friend
Who offers us His perfect peace that soon will have no end
That peace that passes knowledge and the understanding to
Perceive the perfect beauty in the things He'd have us do
That are not dark and worldly but are bright and full of grace
That comes to those who live alone to see their Saviour's face
Alone from worldly pleasures in that fellowship of love
With others who are seeking that bright Home that waits above
Wherein that Land of plenty pleasures like we've never known
Will be the daily offering to those who are God's own
Who take the time today to find His will for them in prayer
While listening attentively to what His Spirit shares
Through every line in scripture where His love is on display
Where Wisdom waits to be received as Light to guide our day
Where peace that knows no trouble that it cannot overcome
Awaits for all who seek it by God's grace not just for some
Proverbs 11:1-12; Philippians 4:4-8
