Reach For the Peace - 2
Unable to make it on my own
I reach for His hand
My light, my hope – the answer
To the prayers I have prayed
The ones where I tell Him
To come close and be my aide
When I can’t make it
Not even another day
I call out to my Savior
And He answers my call
With kindness and mercy
Grace that prevents me
From falling without Him
The One who always
Makes a way to find peace
A way to unearth the joy
A way to restore all I’ve lost
In the battle toward the cross
Not even my best friend
Can help me when I’m down
At my worst, without a chance
I feel like I’m buried in the sand
Reaching toward the dream
Without possibility of coming out
Of the darkness, the storm
That surrounds me with its fury
Its pain, doubt and disillusionment
There are moments in my life
When I hesitate to believe
Can I walk away from this strife?
It is so furious and fights in me
For the precious peace of mind
That I need to finally be free
Of the dread that haunts my soul
With despair, fear – I am desperate
To find a way out of these shadows
Of pain, regret, shame – anguish
Never let the enemy make you believe
Jesus won’t come to help you
When you’re in need, He will be there
Lighting the path toward joy
Coloring the heart in wonder and grace
Filling the soul with a love that gives
Hope and peace – a whisper of gentleness
The assurance that your needs
Will be comforted, soothed by the belief
That you have in this Jesus
Who is everything, everywhere, every
Anticipation for answered prayers
Yes, there comes the blackness
When we fall beneath the silhouettes
Of gloom and despair, fear that defeats
But there is such a wonderful truth
That comes alive on the heart who chooses
To believe in Jesus and His amazing blood
Which covers the sins of every heart
With the assurance that salvation is won
By believing in a Savior who died
Rose from the grave and went home
To sit on the right hand of the Father
Who will bring us all home to heaven
After this troublesome life is done!
Just believe and find the peace
That only Jesus is capable of bringing!
