Great Peace Have They

The place of "resting" is so sweet...
When all is peace within my soul.
Then nervousness and stress and fear
Just cannot take their fearsome toll.

How precious is this place of rest,
Where blessed assurance from above
Guards and covers all I do...
God's wondrous gift of grace and love.

I need not worry, strive or fret
But lean in trust on Jesus' arm,
For He will fill me with His peace
And shield my life from all alarm.

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Isaiah 26:3 KJV

"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them."
Psalm 119:165 KJV
