My Peace I Give to You

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

John 14:27

 

My peace I give to you, My child,

May it your soul embrace;

My peace I give to you,

Do you feel My showering grace?

 

Not as the world gives to you

Is the peace that I now give;

It does not waver in the wind,

It endures in the life you live.

 

Indeed the peace I give you

Endures for all eternity;

Precious is this peace I give,

My child, this do you see?

 

Come to Me, My daughter,

In My arms I shall hold you;

Here you will feel My love,

You will taste My peace true.

 

Should the winds rage about,

Should the storms be fierce,

I shall hold you, My child,

In these hands once pierced.

 

I can calm the ocean waves,

The raging winds I can still;

I ask only that you cling to Me,

That you abide in My will.

 

Stay nigh unto Me, child,

Do not wander from My way;

I shall pave your path with peace,

Shining upon you day to day.

 

“Lord, I delight to be with You,

Your presence is my peace;

My life I live for Your glory,

To You all things I do release.”

 

“What have I to worry, Lord,

When I am in Your arms?

Here nothing my soul fears,

Nothing my heart alarms.”

 

“The ocean waves may crash,

The angry winds may blow,

Yet peace I know here with You,

As I follow the Way You go.”

 

Daughter, My heart delights

To hear these words you say;

Yea, cling to Me, your Lord,

I shall grace your pathway.

 

I shall fill you with My peace

This day and for all eternity;

Precious is this peace I give,

I know, My child, you see.

 

Not as the world gives to you

Is the peace to you I give;

Lo, I am with you always, child,

In your very heart I live.

 

My peace I give to you, child,

May it your soul embrace;

Sing of this peace with Me,

Dance in My showering grace.

How have you experienced the peace Jesus gives?

How is the peace of God different than the peace of the world?
