Peace That Surpasses Understanding
Phillipians 4:6-7
In our lives struggles may not decreaseÂ
And answers to prayer can be delayedÂ
But don't let the devil take your peaceÂ
The enemy wants to make a tradeÂ
To trade our peace for a heart of fearÂ
And get you to doubt what you've obeyedÂ
In clouds your vision may not be clearÂ
But trust there is joy still before youÂ
Believing the hand of God is nearÂ
The Holy Spirit will lead you throughÂ
Even though you fly through turbulenceÂ
The new chapter you will come intoÂ
God will at last come to your defenseÂ
Though from hardship there is no releaseÂ
Jesus will not leave you in suspenseÂ
In life, adversity may not ceaseÂ
We may not observe the whole pictureÂ
But we can walk in heavenly peaceÂ
