PEACE BE STILL

PEACE, BE STILL

PEACE, BE STILL

Battered by the storms of life,
pounded against the rocks by crashing waves,
waves of pain and sadness and grief,
the winds howling their glee.

You come and calm them with three words,
“Peace, be still” and they fall back.
The winds cease and the waves are calm.
And You ask, why were you so afraid, where is your faith.

Do you not know I am with you always?
I have come to heal you, comfort you, and be with you.
My life is to be given for you, to free you from sin.
You are Mine and I love you.

I will wear a crown of thorns and go to Golgotha to die.
They will nail Me to a tree, pierce My hands, feet, and side.
And My blood will be shed for you.
But I will rise again to new life.

All you need do is repent and accept My sacrifice.
You will be washed of your sins by My blood.
You are My precious child and I would save you.
I am doing this for love of you.

My blessed Saviour, I repented and accepted You.
Now I know love and peace beyond measure.
And You calm the storms that come to my life.
With You I need not fear, and with Your Peace, be still.

Jeannine Faith
