Personal Peace
To put it quite so simply, peace is more than just a word,
It’s a way of seeing living; it’s a way of being heard.
Peace is knowing there’s a heaven, and that Christ has made a place,
That our time on Earth is short, and we are aided by his grace.
It means dying if I have to, get beat up if that’s the case,
Standing for what’s right, even if what’s right means losing face.
Waiting very patiently, for Christ or fellow man,
Helping other people, with the heart or mind or hand.
Walking through dark valleys, when that’s where I’m supposed to be,
Seeing Satan’s downfall, and it fills the heart with glee.
Wrestling to victory, day by day we see it all,
Praying gets in tune, so we can answer to our call.
Take it as it comes, we know the Lord is still in charge,
Do the next right thing, the Holy Spirit out at large.
Peace in seeing victory, knowing things are getting done,
Resting in the knowledge, that Jesus and I are one.
