I search for peace
That cannot be found.
I am worried and stressed.
Are you, Jesus, around?
 
Yes, I AM here,
Right by your side.
Cause my Holy Spirit
In you abides.
 
Come to Me,
And release your stress.
I’ll take it from you,
And give you rest.
 
My peace is the calmness
That quiets your soul,
And rids you of anxiousness,
And makes you more whole.
 
Peace is the awareness,
Of Me standing by your side,
I AM your refuge,
Where you can hide.
 
Peace is the absence
Of stress, war and hate,
It’s a place of spaciousness
When you enter my Gate.
 
For Peace is a person,
It’s Christ, your Savior,
When you trust in Me,
You access my Favor.

Dancing among the daisies,
Sparkling with delight,
Singing songs of radiance,
Like stars popping out at night,
Lighting up the atmosphere,
With gratitude and praise,
Is what it’s like to be in Christ,
As I delight in HIM each day!

There are so many things to do today,
It’s way too easy to lose my way.
Where do I start? What should I tackle?
I want to be free, but I’m bound and shackled.
 
Walk not today, in what you would do,
Look at Me, Jesus, and I’ll reveal to you,
What I AM doing in demolishing lies,
That affects the earth, the land and the sky.
 
I want you to step into My plans,
To be My feet, My body, My hands,
That blesses the world with hope from above,
As you shine My Light and receive My Love.
 
For I have arranged a wonderful day,
For you to enter in your work and play.
Just “be” in Me. There’s contentment in My ways,
As I’ll dance you through this most exciting day!

When the storms pass by,
And the clouds start to cry,
And lightning pierces the darkening sky,
I AM the place you need to hide.
 
Come into My Protective Arms.
I, Jesus Christ, keep you from harm,
I quiet all those terrible fears,
Because I, the Lord your God, am here.
 
I will teach you how to sing,
Praises to your most powerful King,
I AM the One who lifts you higher,
Then the fury of the roaring fire.

GOING HIGHER    (April 9)
 
There was a day when I was down,
And not much fun to be around.
I called out to the Lord on high,
“Help me, God, I don’t know why…
Things feel so heavy in my life,
There’s too much stress and too much strife.”
 
Then Jesus gently looked at me,
“I’ll show you what I call you to be,
The faithful one who stands on My Word,
Who trusts in Me, and the Truth you’ve heard.
I AM the One who fights your battles.
Praise My Name and the enemy rattles.
He knows he has no power over you,
As you agree that My Word is true.”
 
I lifted up my head and began to shout,
“Praise the Lord, I will not doubt,
God is mighty, Christ is true!
He turns the enemy into stew!
Praise the Lord, I will not fear,
Christ the Savior is always here!
Praise the Lord, He is so mighty,
He defeats the enemy and makes things tidy.”
 
Then the darkness began to lift,
In the atmosphere, I felt a shift,
The joy in my heart that had been stolen,
Returned to me, and it was golden!
Then I knew deep in my heart
That fighting battles is a sacred art,
And the powerful sword that I so desired,
Is the Word of God that lifts us higher,
And the praise that comes from our lips,
Is like giving God a holy kiss.
