PERFECT PEACE

By "Rebekah" the Bride

(Isa.9:6; 26:3; 32:17; 66:12; Job 22:21; Phil.4:7; Jn.14:27; =
Eph.2:13-14;
2 Cor.5:19,21; Lu.17:21; Rom.8:6; 14:7; Ps.85:10; 1 Cor.14:33; Col.3:15)

***
Prince of Peace, Lord Jesus Christ,
It is really true:
Minds are kept in perfect peace,
If they're stayed on You.
"Oh, I want peace for my mind,"
Many Christians say.
In Isaiah twenty-six,
God gives us the way.
***
"If you get to know your God,"
Says Job twenty-two,
"You will be at peace inside;
Peace will come to you."
Knowledge of what God is like
Will bring with it peace.
Knowing God's made peace with you,
Gives peace that won't cease.
***
Peace in every circumstance,
Whether good or bad;
Peace that you can't understand,
Best kind you have had.
Jesus said, "My peace I give,
I give unto you.
Not the kind the world gives but,
Best you ever knew."
***
Jesus made peace at the cross,
There at Calvary.
It's a gift that we receive,
Given to us free.
God was in Christ on that cross,
Reconciling ALL;
All the world unto Himself,
Redeemed from the fall.
***
If Christ lives within your heart,
You have come into
Such a peaceful kingdom where
God's at peace with you.
Just imagine living there
Every night and day,
Where the Ruler, Prince of Peace,
Never goes away!
***
Right down here in this old world,
God's kingdom has come
Into ALL believers' hearts,
Not just into some.
His kingdom is righteousness,
And it's joy and PEACE.
Yes, I'll say it once again:
Perfect peace won't cease!
***
Peace is like a river, too,
So the Scriptures say.
Dive in and just swim along;
Let God have His way.
Let peace flood over your soul;
No more war inside.
Just serenity dwells there,
In which you abide.
***
God made us His righteousness,
In Christ, don't you know?
And the work of righteousness
Is peace here below.
Peace and righteousness have kissed,
And in Christians dwell;
And those two cause us to say:
"With my soul all's well."
***
Jesus is the Source of peace;
Come unto the Source.
He's the Author of that peace,
Jesus is, of course.
His is perfect and will last
Through eternity;
And I'll say it once again:
Peace with God is free!
***
How can Christians let this peace
Function in their lives?
Just go back and read verse one;
That is how peace thrives.
Yes, just keep your mind on Christ;
Think of Him each day.
And that perfect peace will rule
Your heart, come what may.
