Tranquility



Hallelujah! Sing & Praise!
Destruction in its very last stage!
Love & Peace here will prevail,
Changing scenes to heaven,
wherever we dwell.
Discontentment & evil all put in its place,
No longer even a thought among the human race.
Hallelujah! Peace & Sovereignty!
Hallelujah! Peace & Sovereignty!
Was always here for you & me.
Joy within our life's at last,
Took future, present, & past,
And blended it with a love that surely will last.
Only love & faith allowed in our heart,
Showed us our way home, out of the dark.
Leaving earth's imagined boundaries of hell,
Onward to the inner kingdom, where light does dwell.
Love, Joy, & Peace,
The place we all shall meet,
A life for all to lead,
Living life fully, in Tranquility.

Peace

Be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace within your soul.
With all its sham and drudgery
and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.




The Valley I Grow

Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
It's then I have to remember
That it's in the valleys I grow.

If I always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God's love
And would be living in vain.

I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it's in the valleys I grow.

I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
My Lord will see me through.

My little valleys are nothing
When I picture Christ on the cross
He went through the valley of death;
His victory was Satan's loss.

Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it's in the valleys I grow.

Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.

Thank you for valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow!
