Where's the Peace Y'All?
I want to give a word to the young ladies of today
and ask them what kind of message are they trying to portray
when I look at the media and see the behavior of celebrities in the headlines
the young stars are going to rehab, getting high
and seem to be losing their minds
I normally don't like to preach
but I have one question, where is the peace?
just a few weeks ago on the internet site YouTube
I saw 3 young girls acting like fools
they were beating another young lady so bad
they had her down on her knees
so again I ask the question, where is the peace?
young girls today need to look to God and let Him into their lives
He will offer them inner peace from the world's struggle and strife
He'll give them the comforter of the Holy Spirit
He'll give them a mighty strength If to Him they are committed
He'll carry them when the burdens of life
get too heavy and too hard
He will give them peace of mind and the desires that are in their hearts
surrender to Him your concerns and allow Him a measure of control
He will give you hope in your moments of despair
He will tend to your soul
you only have to just trust in Him
and simply ask for His grace
pray to Him for perfect peace to be put into place
If you understand that it's not so much about what life has done to you
it's about how you respond to life and the decisions that you choose
tell your testimony for there's nothing to be ashamed
believe that He will never leave nor forsake you, If you call His name
call to Him, talk to Him for He will lend you His ear
acquiesce to His authority in order to draw Him near
be planted by a river of water with roots anchored deep
meditate on His word for as ye sow so shall ye reap
just make sure that what you do in life is always spirit-led
don't let peer pressure nor your so-called friends
put false ideas inside of your head
just allow Him be within your heart
allow Him to strengthen your resolve
overcome the obstacles in life and overcome self-doubt
don't stay in a state of confusion, trust in God to help work It out
for you are special ladies just keep God on your minds
let Him get you through the BS in life and beyond the troubled times
as an adopted daughter you are destined to succeed
let God give you a sense of peace and provide all your needs
just stay in the Word and allow your faith to increase
and then you will know, where is the peace
