Noise and Peace

NOISE AND PEACE I listen to the noise outside there is another helicopter flying overhead It causes a fear in me, don't mean to be negative But it's announcement is what I dread! Remembering the promise I made to myself I say, That this is only one reasons I take time to pray. I pray for salvation and justice though I don't know what's going on. Nearer to the end this is, and the beginning of a new song. I know it's closer to my Lord's day For Him to come back for us, The worse that times are here on earth So I say come Lord Jesus! This is where the good is bad And all the bad is good Though this sounds a bit crazy It is all to be just like it should! So I look up at the sky and though I do know why. Then I turn to my Lord and as I pray I cry. It is not to remain inside with a bitter taste And my sadness doesn't turn to waste. Because it goes up into my Lord's heart As He returns a healing to mine It surpasses my understanding No matter how I whine. That peace still comes because I ask And I give it up to HIM So if it returns to me I give it up again. While this world causes all the noise in my mind, My Lord takes it upon my asking because He is so kind. He replaces it with His peace Not as the world offers but what He gives. So I am at peace once again And inside my life He lives. Marilyn Davidson 02/15/16
