Stress Relief

Tension slips away as I focus my thoughts,
On God's tranquil peace and not distraught;
For God doesn't create chaos or confusion,
But God is a God of peace not an illusion;
Serene my stress and tension to transform,
Focus on God's prescription of peace reform.
I run toward God to His open arms of wings,
To experience the joy of freedom it brings;
Being near God gives feeling of warm rays,
His love filling me with peace as I praise;
The warmth fills my heart with His love,
Sending Holy Spirit in the form of a dove;
My peace does not come from this world here,
Rather a Heavenly peace that squelches fear;
Whoever forgives others ends their stress,
Filled with peace as God begins to bless;
Jesus Christ Himself is our path to peace,
A relief valve for any tension to release;
Through the church I experience a new kin,
Freedom to share forgiveness free from sin.
