comfort
i have traveled many miles, where is this peace i claim to have with my soul? only will my soul settle when my salvation is assured. alas, this peace will come only when we humble ourselves in prayer. peace of mind does not come from gifts, or sacrifices. ~ben perkins~
but yet seen no sleep.
i have struggled through great burdens,
and heard no words of comfort.
why has the refuge that once held me tight cast me away?
what comfort do i have when i wake,
only to know that the day will be as burdensome as the previous.
but yet this peace in my soul flees me like a lamb from a slaughter.
what mind cannot worry when it questions the soul?
if know, tell.
alike my soul wishes to be.
for when i know my Lord is listening to me i truly repent,
then i will be free from troubles.
what mind can be troubled when assured is its salvation?
it comes from grace, and grace alone.
for what mind can worry about worldly things when its soul is saved?
as we are saved by grace and not works,
then we are given peace by grace and surely not by works.
