I Would Rather Give You Peace

Lord I demand an answer
Will cruel wars ever cease?
He quietly responded
I would rather give you peace

Lord you weren’t listening
No, not even in the least
He whispered deep into my soul
I would rather give you peace

Lord there’s so much evil
The poor seem only to increase
He never lost His calm and said
I would rather give you peace

Lord can I get some answers
Will you wait till I’m deceased?
I’d like it my way now. He answered,
I would rather give you peace

When the waves are overwhelming
Don’t ask God for quiet seas
Your Father won’t give what you want
He would rather give you peace

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
