Peace Perfected In the Storm
1. Peace Perfected In the Storm
The absence of trouble does not define peace,
Nor does peace approach us when trials do cease—
Our circumstance outward need never define
The meaning of peace, or whether it’s mine.
Though billows may roar and the tempest is wild,
And great is the suff’ring you face as God’s child,
Despite situations of loss, grief or pain,
Amid darkest horrors the Lord plans a gain.
For He is the Master of dark, painful seas,
And uses the storms to bring us to our knees,
Midst stark, painful billows His Presence surrounds—
He bathes us in sunlight as peace now abounds.
It matters not, friend, how the storm rages on
When God has control and initiates dawn:
For peace is perfected within the storm’s eye
As Christ is surrounding – not letting us die.
There’s peaceful contentment amid the vast storm
As Jesus grants courage with His Presence warm:
For each dashing wave He with us will splash through,
Creating true beauty and life that is new!
The storms, pain and trials, the suff’rings intense,
Are reasons for God to show grace so immense,
Delighting midst anguish to show Himself strong,
Creating sweet peace and re-writing one’s song.
Though waves blow in fury, our Anchor is true—
The Prince of Peace always will carry us through,
So praise God midst trials for peace in the pain,
As He creates beauty with infinite gain!
