Peace

Seek peace promote peace
If the world falls away around us
Jesus is still our peace.
What can the unbeliever say about us?
We are called to overcome,
In our weakness, so frail
Let the Kingdom of Jesus come.
Remain at the task we cannot fail!

So many noisy voices in this life
Yet your voice echoes through the ages.
Easing our pain in times of strife
Slowing, peacefully consoling as time rages,
Oh, what comfort it has ever been!
How glorious it always appears,
The moment exactly when
We need it, You draw near.

Nothing lasting only you
No treasure so sure so pure,
Eternally, it is you.
You are sure.
Your word sustains.
Mercy it brings
What forever remains?
Your word, eternally your praise sings.

What you say next, will you repeat
What you have said in days past?
Reminding us of how much we must repeat
In order to make our faith last.
As we stand before You, strengthen our spirit.
In this life we may endure
By the power of your spirit,
We shall overcome, of this, I am sure.
