No peace

3 Feb 2024 9:36 AM There is no peace upon this earth That is not buried in rock and dirt When ever man lays down his head Fear and turmoil walk around his bed They put their spirit into his dreams He turns and struggles not to scream His life he spends longing for calm As life itself slipps through his palm The sands of time forever fall As louder he hears deaths beckoning call His life is worth only what he gives His treasure flows through as water through a sieve Being divided among those whom he cares And coming together in those whom he shared In this world peace can not be found Because evil is always lurking around Searching for someone to anger and annoy Searching for life to mangle and destroy In this world we will have tribulation But He leaves us His peace and jubilation That where He is there we may be Because He died on that man fashioned tree He tore the veil that seperated man from God He rescued the souls from their guilty sod Forever He lives and we may to In a body that's holy and new Our peace is in Him and not of this earth Earths peace is only found buried in rock and dirt
