The world is filled with angry words
That break my heart to hear.
Each time I turn around I find
The anger drawing near.
I try to hold on to the peace
With which You fill my soul,
But, bit by bit, the angry world
Nibbles at my control.
I’m calling out in my despair,
Oh Lord who knows my heart,
Please help me hold on to the grace
That sets Your love apart.
Remind me that, as tempers rise
And angry words fall fast,
Yours is the only peace this world
Can offer that will last.
Philippians 4:9
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in
me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
