I was at a Christmas program last weekend and this song titled "Peace" by Michael McDonald was preformed. The lyrics are so touching and since I am not good with words, I wanted to share them.
"I have come from so far away, down the road of my own mistakes,
in the hope You could hear me pray, O Lord, keep me in Your reach.
I’ve longed through these wasted years to outrun all the pain and fear
turned to stone from my uncried tears, and now it’s Your grace I seek.
Love won’t compromise, it’s a gift, it’s a sacrifice.
My soul renewed and my heart released, in You I’ll find my peace.
O wondrous Child of whom the angels sing, knows my joy, feels my suffering, shining star make this love you bring so bright that I may believe that my way will not be lost from now on, ‘til that river’s crossed. My soul renewed and my spirit free, in You I’ll find my peace."
We cannot outrun all our pain and fear, in doing that we tend to only create more. I have finally realized that God's love can take all that away. It doesnt all disappear right away, but its a journey. A journey I want to continue because I want to find that peace in God. A peace I know I would never find where I used to search for it. But now, I know I am on my way.
