I Will Sleep in Peace ~

I can’t wait until evening,
till the end of my day
when with my Lord and Savior
I can peacefully lay.

For, as I wait to fall asleep,
I envision His love
falling down upon me
like moonbeams above.

I can’t wait for my eyes,
to shut their lids weary
so all of God’s glory
they can picture clearly.

For, as I begin to doze off,
I visualize His light
glowing inside of me
like the stars at night.

I can’t wait until evening,
as I search for Jesus’ face
when I look out at the moon
I slip to sleep full of grace!

Psalm 4:8
King James Version

“I will both lay me down in peace,
and sleep: for thou, Lord,
only makest me dwell in safety.”

The Chain of Pain

Living in the past,
is so easy to do . . .
thinking about the things
that other’s did to you.

Letting go isn’t simple,
there’s no effort in hanging on
and to forget the images
takes an awful lot of brawn.

So, we live with the despair,
the heartaches and the pain
and the peace, God promises
our misery will only drain.

It’s not until we come,
to a place where we forgive
that we’ll find the harmony
in which God intended us to live.

So, if you are in the shackles,
which bind you to the past
let Jesus release the burden
and you’ll be free at last.

The future holds great promise,
to those who give Him their pain
for only Jesus can heal the hurt
of every painful link on the chain !

Psalm 55:22
King James Version

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”

Amen and Amen!
