Reach For the Peace - 2

Unable to make it on my own I reach for His hand My light, my hope – the answer To the prayers I have prayed The ones where I tell Him To come close and be my aide When I can’t make it Not even another day I call out to my Savior And He answers my call With kindness and mercy Grace that prevents me From falling without Him The One who always Makes a way to find peace A way to unearth the joy A way to restore all I’ve lost In the battle toward the cross Not even my best friend Can help me when I’m down At my worst, without a chance I feel like I’m buried in the sand Reaching toward the dream Without possibility of coming out Of the darkness, the storm That surrounds me with its fury Its pain, doubt and disillusionment There are moments in my life When I hesitate to believe Can I walk away from this strife? It is so furious and fights in me For the precious peace of mind That I need to finally be free Of the dread that haunts my soul With despair, fear – I am desperate To find a way out of these shadows Of pain, regret, shame – anguish Never let the enemy make you believe Jesus won’t come to help you When you’re in need, He will be there Lighting the path toward joy Coloring the heart in wonder and grace Filling the soul with a love that gives Hope and peace – a whisper of gentleness The assurance that your needs Will be comforted, soothed by the belief That you have in this Jesus Who is everything, everywhere, every Anticipation for answered prayers Yes, there comes the blackness When we fall beneath the silhouettes Of gloom and despair, fear that defeats But there is such a wonderful truth That comes alive on the heart who chooses To believe in Jesus and His amazing blood Which covers the sins of every heart With the assurance that salvation is won By believing in a Savior who died Rose from the grave and went home To sit on the right hand of the Father Who will bring us all home to heaven After this troublesome life is done! Just believe and find the peace That only Jesus is capable of bringing!
