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.”)
