Peace

Between older relatives with heart problems (dh’s Gramma, my Dad) and other stuff going on, we are pretty stressed out. I wrote this, knowing it’s what we need to do even as we’re in the midst of what feels like a storm on all sides.

PEACE
It feels like the world is crashing down around us
In our flesh we don’t know what to do
But ‘Great is My peace’ you promise
If only we turn and worship you.

Amid turmoil and uncertainty
Your banner will always stand
A shield you raise and a fortress around
As you hold us in your hand.

We fall short, we fall down
We say ‘But Lord, there’s something we must do’
And again you say, ‘Great is My peace’
If only we turn and worship you.

To worship, to raise our hands
To surrender worldly cares
Is difficult in times of trouble, but
‘Never will I leave you’– you remind us you are there

When it seems the world is crashing down
And in our flesh, we don’t know what to do
And great is our peace in You
As we turn to worship, true.
