In Perfect Peace ~



In perfect peace, I am kept,
 when my mind is stayed on Thee
 I trust You God for my strength
 and the power You instill in me.

Justice kissed my stony heart,
 Your mercy I have met
 joy fills up my weary soul
 on You, my eyes are firmly set.

My mind rests in You Lord,
 in quietness I hold on to my hope
 I give You my earthly woes
 for I know no other way to cope.

Grace now has found a home,
 inside this shell of a life
 filling up the lonely spaces
 where once lived only strife.

In perfect peace, I am kept,
 for I trust in only Thee
 it’s only by Your power Lord
 that I have any strength in me!

~~~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 26:3
  King James Version

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
  whose mind is stayed on thee:
  because he trusteth in thee."

The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~

There's nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.

No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.

In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He'll supply each provision.

When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!
