Where is peace?
When all the world seems in shambles
The cries of the wicked fill the streets
Fill the media
Fill politics
And break in the doors of family.
We have strayed from the path, into brambles.
We have lost our unity,
And traded it for outrage.
Among all this folly, where is peace?
We find peace among creation:
The constant lapping of ocean waves on morning beaches
The chattering of birds as they fly between trees,
The wind rustling in the aspen leaves.
But when you no longer hear those things,
Gone once again is peace.
To survive we must find Peace Everlasting
The Prince of Peace who is
The beginning of all creation's peace.
This Peace is living in you.
He will not leave you nor forsake you.
So when the cares of the world
Burden you with extra weight
And seem to stifle your shalom,
Pray to feel the greater Shalom.
Spread Him to the world.
Accept Him, and live in Peace.
Constant, fearless, joyful, and true,
Is the Shalom living in me and in you.
