Answer of Peace

All around you the thunder roars.
The waves of torment rolls over your soul.
Within your heart the flood of  disappointment pours.
And you fill as though you will never be whole.

Left and right our brothers and sister fall bybthe way side.
You watch the flame of faith beginning to flicker.
Deep inside you want to find a safe placed to hide.
But all you can see is the night getting thicker.

And you drift out on this sea of doubt.
You don’t know how much more you can stand .
But if within your heart you cry out.
I know Jesus will answer withone command.

When it feels like you are headed for defeat.
He says one simple word and the storm must cease.
With a voice so strong yet sweet.
Jesus will whisper a answer of…………
                     PEACE!
