Peace wash over me
Peace I pray
Keep me safe
Never let me stray
For all my steps
I will walk today
For choice of words
I might have to say
Peace wash over me
Peace, I pray
Tag peace
Peace
Peace in the waters
Peace in the words
Peace in the worlds
That darken my thoughts
Peace only my child
This is my one wish
That throughout each day
And cool dreamy nights
That peace will be yours
A peaceful long life
Dare To Be
Dare to be happy don’t shy away
Reach out and touch the joy of today
Life is for living, give it a try
Open your heart to that sun in the sky.
Dare to be loving and trusting and true
Treasure the hours with those close to you
Dare to be kind it’s more fun than you know
Give joy to others and watch your own grow.
Dare to admit all your blessings and then
Every day count them all over again
Dare to be happy and don’t be afraid
This is the day God willfully made.
Stillness
Sometimes
We need to set aside
Our desires, our wishes
Our wants, our strife
And simply be
Still
I’m so happy
For things that make me happy
Like guitar strings being strummed
Like music playing
Like my warm cosy bed
Like coffee
Like cake yum I love cake
Like a Johannesburg thunderstorm
Like watching movies on an airplane
Like every pay day, yay for pay days
Like swimming in the sea
Like massages
Like my hair being brushed
Like new clothes days
Like the quietness when I am still at night
And all I feel is peace and quiet
And I am safe and loved.
Protected: Heaven and Home!
At One
I enter the inner sanctity of my heart
At one with the life breathed into me
And I feel a quiet peace so still and gentle
I know I am safe and loved and guided
Protected by my creator, my lord
The Son
Finding contentment
In a world of war
Finding peace
In a heart of fear
Finding happiness
In the midst of pain
I found it all
When I found the Son
Pieces
There is calm
Amidst the storm
I pull myself inside
Gather all the pieces
Falling apart around my feet
And pull them into the peace
Inside of me
Being Still
Last night I was thinking of being still. I opened a book that I haven’t used in years to write some notes, and right there in front of me were some notes I had made from a long time ago. Exactly what I was thinking, ‘Be still and know that I am God’.
It was my thoughts exactly echoed back to me. A tiny message to hold on to and focus on. In the midst of turmoil, strife, negativity, cravings and the other earth battles we face, sometimes just to be still, let go and allow God his will be done.
The creator of heaven, earth, land and sky breathed life into us. We have power on our side.
