Peace

Perhaps you’re feeling all alone today.
Despair is getting quickly past your guard.
You’ve but to get down on your knees and pray
And hear His gentle voice within your heart…

Have you been leveled by the life you lead?
And do you fear you’ve lost all your control?
Lift up your heart! He knows your every need!
And feel His presence deep within your soul…

Poor little sheep, have you wandered so far?
Now trapped within the brambles of your shame…
The Shepherd searches, so, stay where you are
And listen… You can hear Him call your name…

He says, “My peace I leave and give to you…”
Be not afraid in all that you might do.
