T hroughout this world, I can see,
H atred, meanness and cruelty
E ven among those who claim to be "saved,"

C an we not see some that's so depraved
A s to alarm, oh what distress,
L ORD, where can we find True Rest?
M y LORD tells me, "Look within,
I t's in your Heart where I abide.
N o peace like Mine, doth this world afford,
G ive I freely, through The WORD!"

P eace is what I seek through Him,
R edeeemed and brought back out of sin--
E ternal Blessing, my ultimate goal,
S eek I now, sweet Peace for my soul.
E nlightened, He shows me the way,
N ow with Him near, I walk each day
C raddled in His Protective Arms,
E mpowered to resist the world's alarms.

O neness with Him, is the Key
F or o'ercoming Victory!

T he world, my confidence can't shake,
H elped by the LORD, and for His sake,
E nabled by His presence--peace within,

L ets me be serene, in a world so grim.
O nly His presence, can relieve my fear
R elying on Him
D oth my soul feel secure!

Especially like the last few lines..

L ets me be serene, in a world so grim.
O nly His presence, can relieve my fear
R elying on Him
D oth my soul feel secure!

David ; How exquisite! I am so comforted by this perfectly inspiring acrostic! Every word a pearl of great price...thank you, my dear friend...Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
