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
