Seeking Your Peace

 

Lead me beside Your still waters.
Lord, I’m in need of peace,
But the unrelenting chaos
Of life just will not cease.
 
Each time I thought I could sit down,
Some new mayhem burst through.
That’s why, right now, all that I want
Is to be still with You.
 
I’m grateful for a busy life,
Lord, please don’t get me wrong,
But now and then I’m overwhelmed
From running for too long.
 
I know each day brings ups and downs,
Today’s been all uphill,
But, if it fits within Your plan,
Could we sit and be still?
 
I just thought I would ask You, Lord,
I knew You wouldn’t mind.
Yours is the only source of peace
I seek and know I’ll find.
 
Psalm 23:2
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
 
Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
