A Wonderful Peace

A Wonderful Peace

There’s a wonderful peace in Jesus,
That the world in its clamour denies,
For its laughter and humour are hollow
When compared to this God-given prize.

Oh, I don’t mean you get it like wages,
Or earn it by running a race;
This peace is no prize in a lottery;
It comes just in Jesus by grace.

It’s nothing that I do to earn it –
He paid what it cost on the Cross –
I simply repent and believe him,
Let the world and its discord be loss.

There’s a wonderful peace in our Saviour
That the world on its own cannot find,
Till it looks for this peace in Jesus,
Since our heart for His peace is designed.

“He himself is our peace.”  Ephesians 2:14
