Peace of God

Let the words of my mouth and meditation,
Be acceptable and be free from temptation;
The Lord is my strength and my Savior,
And I will continue to be for Him a warrior,
Preserving the peace by preparing for war,
If any foes of God come through the door;
I meditate as I find confidence in my deeds,
Replenishing strength to meet my needs;
My peace that I give is deep from the heart,
Protected by a warrior shield not to depart;
In the center of a storm to surround life,
A peaceful calm that's bombarded by strife;
Tension and anxiety are shielded from view,
By the peace in my spirit flowing through;
God's peace is firmly in my heart to reign,
Peace that's also in my mind for to remain;
Peace is God's gift under His salvation,
That builds on solid rock in His foundation;
I speak of these so you may have the peace,
Being of good cheer even before war cease.
