Peace

Once again the world wakes up to tragedy. Please pray for the world. Pray for those who murder and maim in the name of Allah. Pray for those who were killed or hurt. Pray for their families. Pray that Jesus will heal all wounds. Jesus is the answer in all of this. It's so simple, yet so complicated.
Peace, perfect peace. In this dark world of sin. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace. By thronging duties pressed: To do the will of Jesus--this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace. With sorrows surging round: On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.
Peace, perfect peace. With loved ones far away: In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.
Peace, perfect peace. Our future all unknown. Jesus we know and He is on the throne.
It is enough. Earth's struggles soon shall cease, and Jesus call us to heav'n's perfect peace.

JW
