Peace Will Come

"Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead." First Corinthians 1:8-9

            In our minds we dwelt on the disaster.

            In our hearts we feared what was ahead.

            In our souls we knew something had to give.

But our peace we did not realize yet.

In our minds we said God was unfair.

In our hearts we couldn’t stand the despair.

            In our souls we knew this should not be the end.

            Still our peace was not found until we gave up our plans.

            And in our minds we condemned God for all he allowed to break our hearts.

            And in our hearts we didn’t like it was us He broke.    

            And in our souls we knew God had loved us even though we wanted to turn away.

            And our peace began to assure us He was here no matter what our hearts may say.

            Our minds gave up reason when there was no hope to be found

            Our hearts trusted in the promises of His Word

            Our souls found salvation in the sacrifice of His blood

            While our peace was found in the realization of His unending love
