Perpetual Peace

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27).

The world gives a fragile peace,
When things may go your way.
But alas, when good times cease
That peace can never stay.

The peace that Christ our Savior gives
Is anchored to His throne.
It rests secure because He lives
And has redeemed His own.

How different is the quality
Of peace that Christ imparts!
It lasts for all eternity
And satisfies our hearts.

Do not let your heart be stressed,
Nor let it be afraid.
Child of God, in this thought rest:
Your ransom has been paid!
