"Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, Thou shalt purge them away" (Psalm 65:3). "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).
There is a peace that won't be found
In treaties that this world gives:
Our calm assurance shall abound
Because our Lord and Savior lives.
There is a comfort from the Lord
That Christ has purchased for His own.
There's no one else who can afford
This peace, but Jesus Christ alone.
Peculiar peace! It had a price,
Though freely now it is bestowed,
For Christ became our Sacrifice
To pay the awful debt we owed!
Iniquities against us stand,
Yet these cannot our peace negate,
For Christ has met the Law's demand
And purged from us our sin so great.
We thank You, Lord, for perfect peace,
And stand amazed at love so vast
That nothing could have made You cease
To thus secure our peace at last!
