"Peace, Peace, Wonderful Peace"
Words: Warren D. Cornell, 1889, alt.
Music: W. George Cooper, 1889
Cornell and Cooper wrote this song at a Methodist camp meeting near West Bend, Wisconsin.
Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.
Refrain
Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll!
Refrain
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul!
Refrain
And I think when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Anchor of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom will be:
Refrain
Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime!

Some people actually think our world is going to become peaceful before Jesus comes back.
Stephen the first martyr was at peace in his death
Reading Foxes book of martyrs those Christians were at peace with all sorts of ugliness going on around them...
We have peace not as the world has peace we have His peace... the real thing...
Thinking on peace brings Amazing Grace to mind.. to think that this man learned to know peace...

You're right, Reba. We can fret, and buy into the fears of the world, experiencing their fears as our own....... or, we can, instead, trust in Jesus, and have the peace He promised.
and Jesus said:
John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Nice thread.
The peace that comes only from God.
I feel it, I know it.
That's quite a contrast from the thread I just escaped from.
