Source of My Peace
At the very core of my heart
surges blissful delight midst mirth divine
while the Almighty grips me by His wondrous love
enabling countenance to beam with hope
assured upon offered eternal life...
...oh, peace of God* prevailing!
At the crust of my conscience
I’m confounded by divine mercy and truth
aiding me to confess my sins against reality check
receiving Christ’s pardon-bestowment
toward victorious freedom, devoid of guilt...
...that's peace from God** sanctifying!
At the abyss of my soul
I’m robbed from serenity’s blessings
while escaping from fear-entanglement
now, I claim Scriptures’ assurance
propelling praise-driven worship fervency...
...such is peace in God upholding!
At the innermost chamber of my faith
constantly constrained for earnest service
I’m rebuked against selfishness vaunting arrogance
while convicted by the Holy Spirit
to repent and fulfill genuine stewardship-engagement...
...yes, peace with God*** empowering!
*Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ** 2John 1:3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.***Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
