In adversity, peace

In adversity, peace,
Not scarcity but abundance
An opportunity to submit
To shine, to witness,
To dwell in the peace
That only Christ offers
To shine His light
Into the darkness, the chaos,
Of this present age
To rest, at peace,
At the end of our days.

Fear not


Fear not,
let down your guard,
submit your life,
have faith in Christ.
 
Fear not,
hold nothing back,
turn your cares, your worries
over to God.
 
Fear not,
proclaim the Good News,
share the message
of the risen Christ.
 
Fear not,
drop your blanket,
walk boldly
with the living God.

At peace with God – v2

We were enemies, adversaries,
estranged from our loving Father;
We were lost, by our choices,
our sins against our God.
 
We have been restored, reconciled,
by the one gift of Christmas,
by the sacrifice of Christ
His blood on our cross.
 
We live as brothers and sisters
siblings with Christ, our Savior,
redeemed by His sacrifice,
His blood on our cross.
 
We are at peace with God,
our stain of sin cast upon Jesus
no longer others, strangers,
brought close to our Father's side.
