“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”<\/em> <\/span>(John 14:27)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We have a liberal college in our community and from time to time we see bumper stickers from this group that read, World Peace<\/em>. Some jokesters have made a play on this sticker by coming up with one of their own; Whirled Peas<\/em>. I suppose the second sticker is much more easily achieved.<\/p>\n

From the day that Adam and Eve sinned and were evicted from the garden there has been strife, conflicts and wars. For all of the rhetoric about attaining peace we are no closer to world peace, nor will we ever be until Jesus comes again to establish His Wonderful Peace over all the earth. What a fantastic day it will be when there is eternal peace. The featured hymn this week from GloryScapes, isWonderful Peace<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Wonderful Peace<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
\nRolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
\nIn celestial strains it unceasingly falls
\nO’er my soul like an infinite calm.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain: Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
\nComing down from the Father above!
\nSweep over my spirit forever, I pray
\nIn fathomless billows of love!<\/em><\/p>\n

What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
\nBuried deep in the heart of my soul,
\nSo secure that no power can mine it away,
\nWhile the years of eternity roll!<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
\nResting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
\nFor I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
\nAnd His glory is flooding my soul!<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

And I think when I rise to that city of peace,
\nWhere the Anchor of peace I shall see,
\nThat one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
\nIn that heavenly kingdom will be:<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest,
\nMarching down the rough pathway of time?
\nMake Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;
\nO accept of this peace so sublime!<\/em><\/p>\n
