He Said It Again


 

He meant it the first time He said it--

He always did

But he knew the human heart

So he said it again and again

 

In raging rain and howling storm

It speaks a “Peace, be still”

When faced with things outside the norm

His own peace our hearts fill

 

Peace that keeps through darkest night

Whispering “Never fear”

Then pulls us into warmth of light

“Thy Saviour is ever near”

 

Now look upon His wounded hands

Behold His side and feet

For you He bled upon the Cross

He is our Peace complete
