peace

8:00am. We're socked in with snow.  Before the plows come, nothing can move.  The stillness and peace reminds me of this song God gave me years ago.  It still has a healing, quieting effect on my soul. You may know this song..it's called Peacemaker.  I've double-spaced the words so we can take them in more slowly, letting God speak through them.


peacemaker

fear taker

soul soother

storm smoother

light shiner

lost finder

cloud lifter

deliverer

heart toucher

truth lover

who other could be

fear taker

peacemaker to me


mind clearer

sigh hearer

hand holder

consoler

wound binder

tear drier

strength giver

provider

heart healer

kind Father

who other could be

my Savior

peacemaker to me


let Your peace rule in my heart

let Your kindness fill my thoughts

let Your strength secure my soul

let Your peace take hold in me

let Your wisdom guide my will

Your compassion fill this place

let my anxious thoughts be still

let Your peace rule in my heart


I need You

I need You

I need You in my life

I trust You

believe You

I need You in my life

I know

    Thank you Greg, You inspired me to pull out my WCCC cassettes. Ever Devoted and A Place to Call Home. Did you ever record Peacemaker? I remember singing it during New Community.

    Yep there is a recording... it's on a CD called One Life. They have it at Seeds Bookstore. Also it's on iTunes. :)

    I know this is an old post, but do you have a soundtrack or sheet music for Peacemaker? I've just been introduced to the song, and it really ministers to my heart.

    Hi Greg. We had purchased this lovely song long ago, but have misplaced it. We're desperately trying to find it to use this weekend. Any help you could provide would be much MUCH appreciated! We're actually using it with one of our WIllow Creek drams which we did save.

    Thanks for this lovely song.
