A Peaceful Life ~

A peaceful mind,
is full of calm
the Word of God
is its healing balm.
It frets not about,
what may be
for Lord it puts
its trust in Thee.
A peaceful heart,
is full of ease
for with sin
it does not tease.
It’s not to the world,
even slightly conformed
instead in Jesus its been
completely transformed.
A peaceful life,
is a life worth living
for it knows to pray
for every single thing!
~~~~~~~~
Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer
and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God.
These things I have
spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against
such there is no law.”

Life Untroubled ~

Jesus never promised,
life would be easy . .
nor things would be
carefree and breezy.
Instead He said we’d have,
tests and tribulation
while living in this world
we’d undergo frustration.
Jesus never promised,
life on earth would be just
nor how its wicked ways
on us wouldn’t be thrust.
Instead He said as we made,
our earthly journey here
to claim in Him our victory
and to be of good cheer.
Jesus never promised,
life would be untroubled
He said He’d give us peace
so not to be befuddled!
~~~~~~~~
These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be
of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.

A Happily Ever After ~

There is a happily,
ever after . . . .
a place filled with joy
eternal laughter.
But until we’re in heaven,
troubles there will be
but, Jesus says until then
to have peace in Me.
There will be a happy,
forevermore . . .
a place where death
will be no more.
But, until Jesus comes,
to rule and to reign
we will experience
sorrow, grief and pain.
There can’t be happiness,
in this world we’re living
but, one day there will be
not one eye found crying!
~~~~~~~~
These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.

Eternal Peace ~
We live in pressurized world,
we’re always under stress
but, we who rely on God
onward strain and press.
We’re hassled on every side,
pushed around and shoved
but, we who hope in Jesus
know how much we are loved.
We feel the weight of the world,
come crashing down on us
but, those of us who believe
always in God put their trust.
We’re fatigued over hearing,
daily all the horrific news
but, we who have faith in Jesus
joy over fear we will choose.
We live in a pressurized world,
the stress never seems to cease
but, we who trust in the Lord
will have eternal peace!

Seasons Of Fainting ~

Sometimes we go through,
seasons of fainting . . .
when worldly catastrophes
leave us anxiously panting.
For all around us we see,
disorder of every kind
messing with the peace
in our heart and mind.
Sometimes we go through,
seasons of weariness . . .
when earthly calamities
fill us with restlessness.
For every where we turn,
we see the destruction
that evilness brings
when under its seduction.
Sometimes we go through,
seasons of trepidation . . .
but we who believe in Jesus
are free of apprehension!
~~~~~~~~
If thou faint in the day
of adversity,
thy strength is small.
These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.

Be Not Defeated ~

I know your sorrows,
I know your grief
I know you’re hated
for your belief.
For I too was pained,
I did too grieve
for those who refused
in Me to believe.
I know your trials,
I know you’re weary
I know how this life
can leave you teary.
For I too wept,
my heart too did cry
for I knew for the world
I would have to die.
I know your weakness,
I know you’re depleted
but, I have overcome . . .
so be not defeated!
~~~~~~~~
Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.

Hello Jesus ~

Hello Jesus I need to talk,
I need an ear to hear
how the root of evil
in today’s world I fear.
I need to know from You,
all is in Your control
I need to have Your peace
resting here in my soul.
Hello Jesus I need to ask,
how in this world I’m to cope
when there are so many
who haven’t a drop of hope.
I need to understand,
just what it will take
to help save those
from their eternal fate.
Hello Jesus I need to talk,
I need You to tell me
why in today’s world
so much evil I now see!
~~~~~~~~
These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.

Till He Comes For Me ~
Till for me He comes,
alone, I will not be
for Jesus is always . . .
right here next to me.
I will wait for Him,
without dread or fear
for my Lord and Savior
is always close and near.
Till for me He comes,
afraid, I will not be
for Jesus is always . . .
right here inside of me.
He will keep me safe,
as He makes His way
His peace I will claim
right up until that joyful day.
Till for me He comes,
fainthearted, I will not be
for His Spirit is always . . .
power and strength to me!

“These things I have spoken unto you,

Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ;

We All Look For Peace ~
We all look for,
some kind of peace
we all need
some sort of release.
We all want,
just a little rest
we all desire
a lot less stress.
We all seek,
a gentle calmness
we all wish for
a stilling solace.
We all require,
some kind of quiet
we all request
a tranquil climate.
We all look for,
a real genuine peace
but only Jesus . . .
true peace can release!
~~~~~~~~~~
Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you:

Imperfect Me ~
In a world that is filled,
with so much turbulence
it hard to find peace . . .
of any permanence.
But, God’s perfect love,
flows into imperfect me
helping me to be . . .
chaos and havoc free.
In a world that is full,
of upheaval and unrest
it hard to be calm . . .
and not be stressed.
But, God’s mercy anew,
flows into unworthy me
helping me to be
fervor and frenzy free.
In a world that is filled,
with so much instability
I’m so thankful Jesus gives . . .
grateful me ~ stability!
~~~~~~~~~
For all have sinned,
and come short of
the glory of God;
These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.

Troubles Abounding ~
In this fallen world . . .
there’ll be troubles abounding
worries and cares
conceptually confounding.
But, Jesus said we’re not,
to fret or to despair
but to hand over to Him
our every single care.
Each day there’s enough,
troubles of its own
packed full of anxiety
from the things unknown.
But, Jesus insisted,
we are not to dread
nor are we to panic
but to trust Him instead.
In this fallen world,
we’ll have plenty of distress
but, Jesus makes it clear
over them we needn’t obsess!

But, Take Heart ~
Take heart,
faith, do not lose
don’t let the evil-minded
give you the blues.
For, peace can be yours,
if you so elect
when onto Jesus
your eyes you direct.
Take heart,
joy, do not let go of
don’t let the enemy
overpower His love.
For, hope is yours,
in a world bearing none
for over the wicked
Jesus already won.
Take heart,
hold on to your faith and trust
for Jesus overcame . . .
the evilness all around us!
~~~~~~~
I have said these things to you,
that in me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation.
But take heart;
I have overcome the world.”
