At Peace with God

Romans 5:1-4

Being justified by faith in peace with God,
Through our Lord Jesus Christ we applaud;
With access by faith in the grace we abide,
Rejoicing in hope of the glory deep inside;
We rejoice in our suffering of having hope,
Through tribulations with patience to cope;
We are not ashamed for hope brings a love,
Shed upon our hearts from God up above;
Through the Holy Spirit to which is given,
As an ever loving gift from God in Heaven.
Faith says it all in your outlook on life,
Exactly how you can handle trials of strife;
Even through tough times you persevere,
For tough times never last and disappear;
A strong patience copes with your pain,
Building character to bounce back again;
For your faith in God maintains your peace,
Ensuring that your frustration will cease;
The peace of God is within you to console,
As peace fills your heart and your soul.
