Peace Like a River

When this earthly life overwhelms us, and trials seem to win,
Our Heavenly Father succors us, for now He dwells within!
Though we are often troubled, and situations threat to rule,
We have this blest assurance, that God is over all!
He rules over every aspect, and uses all for good,
We trust in His Provender, and thank Him for our food!

For Peace like a River flows through us now,
We need not worry or fear,
Our Heavenly Father has promised,
To always keep us near!

Jesus said those loving Him will never die,
And we can trust His Promise, for He will never lie!
We can trust Him fully, all for us is done,
For He said on the cross that it was finished,
He revealed the New, for the Old had passed away,
Though we still have trials, the Victory is won!

For Peace like a River flows through us now,
We need not worry or fear,
Our Heavenly Father has promised,
To always keep us near!

We now live in His Presence, no need for worries or for fears,

He will never forsake us, nor leave us to our tears!

He always will comfort, through those He has redeemed,

To strengthen and encourage, to relieve us with these themes!

To remind of His love, that He so graciously brought from up above,

We now are Blessed on Earth as in Heaven, because He brought us Near!

For Peace like a River flows through us now,
We need not worry or fear,
Our Heavenly Father has promised,
To always keep us near!
