Take Heart I Have Overcome the World - John 16: 33

Jesus speaks as the prince of peace for as the only one with true authority sent by His Father in heaven above full of blessings and eternal love The world's peace doesn't satisfy it leaves a void real deep within no matter how one depends on it so lacking just leaves you in a spin God's peace is full of divine love bringing calming grace upon your soul for He's said this world is trouble so run to His arms fulfill your role Take heart! I have overcome the world these words of comfort so full of peace uplifts our hopes of everlasting joy God's promises eternally never to cease ('John 16:33 - (NIV) “I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”)
