we receive peace – v3

We are given peace
we receive our lives back
our lives are in God’s hands;
A lesson in this scripture,
one of many actually,
from the life of Paul
and our own faith journeys.

We are freed of chaos
our sinful bodies are released
from the power of sin
in giving up control;
We receive peace
we gain control of
new lives of grace.
