o eternal
Light of the world
i need Your peace
it's so stormy
in my soul
and there's trouble
in the world
let me find peace
in You
o eternal
Light of the world
come fill my mind
with gentle whispers
from your Word
all the truth
i think i know
i surrender
i need to see
and i want to rest
just rest
in You
o eternal
Light of the world
thank You
for the
quiet morning river song
thank You
for dancing colors
and of course
thank You
for a little tugboat
help me to
swim upstream today
in Your love
in Your peace
i'm still trying to do
when all You desire
is for me
to be
just
be
in
You
it’s the beauty and simplicity
that we often miss
the radiance and light
that we just don’t see
the comfort and the healing
that we lay aside
oh let us rest
let us be still
for the greatest of these is love
the greatest of these is love
it’s the glory and presence
that we often ignore
a sunrise
a bird song
a baby’s laughter
the colors of all the leaves
as they fall
grace is always in season
oh let us rest
let us be still
for the greatest of these is love
the greatest of these is love
it’s the bitterness
and anger and rage
that can lead us
to waste our pain
we pursue justice
at the expense of our souls
and become that which
we loath
oh let us rest
let us be still
for the greatest of these is love
the greatest of these is love
God our world is in trouble
but greater still
is my troubled soul
my anxious thoughts
God i need you
to settle this restless heart
help me to see
beauty simplicity
your presence your glory
right here
to laugh like a child
and to sing
your praise
and your renown
with the colors
and the seasons
oh let us rest
let us be still
for the greatest of these is love
the greatest of these is love
lift up your eyes
oh weary one
and let His love
clothe the lies
mend the wounds
and sing over you
lift up your eyes
oh sacred soul
you matter more
than anyone knows
let His grace
lift your head
you bear His image
be at peace
be at peace
lift up your eyes
oh shame filled one
and let His presence
surround the sorrow
all the monochrome
guilt and shame
will be restored
in the color
of His deliverance
in the brilliance
of His countenance
in the suffering
of His love
lift up your eyes
be at peace
and rest
be at peace
and rest
To my WordPress family: we celebrate Christmas in the Garcia home. Whatever expression of faith you hold dear, may you and those you love and care for know grace and peace.
I think I just created a new word! Taken at the Illinois River in Morris. I changed the background so you can see the entire image. Hope you have a great week!
