PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU

LORD, YOU SPOKE A WORD TO ME
ONE THAT FILLED MY HEART TODAY...
"I WANT TO GIVE YOU PEACE WITHIN
BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT KEEP IT AT BAY.

I WANT TO HANDLE ALL YOUR CARES
JUST REST ASSURED CHILD, I HAVE A PLAN!
MY PEACE I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOU
SO TRUST ME TO KNOW I CAN.

I WILL WORK AND RECEIVE THE GLORY
WHEN IN THE END VICTORY COMES!
I WORK FOR GOOD IN EVERYTHING
AND YOU MAY NOT SEE ALL BUT SOME.

KEEP YOUR MIND STEADFAST ON ME
AND I WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY.
PEACE IS THERE JUST WAITING TO GRASP
AS YOU GO THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY.

HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT I AM YOUR GOD
YOUR SAVIOR AND YOUR FRIEND!
I DIED SO YOU COULD HAVE PEACE
BEYOND UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWS NO END.

SOMETIMES YOU WILL WAIT ON ME
AS I ALWAYS WORK WITHIN MY PLAN.
REST IN ME FOR I KNOW YOUR NEEDS
AND PROVIDE FOR THEM I CAN!

MY PROMISES ARE FAITHFUL AND TRUE
SO FEED ON MY WORD EACH DAY.
KEEP FOCUSED ON ME AND PEACE WILL ABOUND
NO MATTER WHAT COMES YOUR WAY.

PRAY TO ME AND TELL ME YOUR FEARS
THE THINGS THAT TROUBLE YOUR SOUL.
MAKE YOUR PETITIONS KNOWN TO ME
THEN GIVE THEM TO ME TO HOLD!

REMEMBER I CARRIED CALVARY'S CROSS
AND HELD YOUR BURDENS THERE.
ANYTHING YOU COULD FEEL TODAY
IS SOMETHING I'VE ALREADY SHARED.

SO LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED
AND DO NOT BE AFRAID!
TAKE HEART I OVERCAME THIS WORLD
AS I AROSE FROM THE TOMB WHERE I LAID!"
