Hidden In His Peace

When thoughts are whirling in my head
And pressures start to build,
I pause to focus on the Lord.
And by His peace I'm "stilled".

If I'm rushed He keeps me steady
So I'm on "the cutting edge".
I do not feel ruffled,
For His peace is as a "hedge"...

Surrounding me in all I do,
Bringing calm within...
A blessed, sweet oasis
From confusion and from din.

The peace He gives is as a shield,
A hidden place of rest.
By His peace I'm comforted
And very, very blessed.

"Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance."
Psalm 32:7 KJV
