Peace My Child
I thought I walked this earth alone, beneath my burdens bowed, until I found I could not bear their weight and cried aloud. And echoing through the darkness that had framed my solitude, I heard my cries…first soft and low, then gaining magnitude. I prayed for peace within my soul, deliverance from the night; and finally, in the distance, I beheld a flickering light. The light grew strong and stronger still, 'til it enveloped me. The rays were warm and comforting; my anguish flee. "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid; for I have known and loved you long before this world was made. Peace I leave with you; my peace I would to you impart, and ye shall seek and find me when ye search with all your heart." The voice spoke from deep within; I felt His calm overtake me. With newfound faith, I knew, at last, my Lord would not forsake me. From this day forth, I'll walk with God, my Savior by my side. Alone no more, His helping hand will ever be my guide.
