THANK YOU FOR YOUR PEACE<\/p>\n

08-02-2022<\/p>\n

Thank you Lord for your peace,
\nThough the storm rages about,
\nI really have nothing to fear,
\nBecause for me You look out.<\/p>\n

Sadly in this modern world,
\nSo many people are afraid.
\nIt is because at Your feet,
\nNo burdens they have laid.<\/p>\n

War raises its ugly head,
\nHunger strikes many lands,
\nBut I worry for none of it,
\nI rest calmly in Your hands.<\/p>\n

A pandemic has struck many,
\nQuite often ending in death,
\nBut You’ve kept it from me,
\nAnd still I have my breath.<\/p>\n

Lord, I simply cannot deny,
\nHow blessed I truly am today,
\nMay others know Your peace,
\nThis, dear Lord, I pray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
