Peace in Our Savior

Peace only coming
resident in our faith
Peace in our savior
in no other
No other way
to feel calm in the storm
Only in Christ
the strength of the Spirit
Guiding our steps
when we are afraid
Leading us on
closer to the Father
Until that bright day
when we see him face to face
For now, comfort
in the arms of our brother
Following the master’s call
for all of our days

A Citadel of Peace

In the midst of the chaos
struggles of life
God is our oasis
a citadel of peace
Into him may we find rest

Looking inward
to the spirit’s calming
set apart in our hearts
in the arms of the Lord

Comfort in God’s protection
even in
the storms of this life
