The Source of Peace

When my life is full of sorrow,

And my heart no more can sing,

To the foot of the cross of Calvary

My burden I will bring.

Peace, oh what peace, then engulfs my soul.

Joy fills my nights and days.

Peace, oh what peace, Jesus brought to me

On my lips is a song of praise.

At the feet of Christ my Savior 

I can find a sweet relief,

So I run to the arms of Jesus

To pour out every grief.

Peace, oh what peace, then engulfs my soul.

Joy fills my nights and days.

Peace, oh what peace, Jesus brought to me

On my lips is a song of praise.

When I stray from Christ my Savior,

And my heart is dark within.

Then I kneel at the feet of Jesus,

And He will cleanse my sin.

Peace, oh what peace, then engulfs my soul.

Joy fills my nights and days.

Peace, oh what peace, Jesus brought to me

On my lips is a song of praise.

In your time of deepest trial, 

When you don't know what to do

Then just take to the Lord your anguish

And He will help you through.

Peace, oh what peace, will engulf your soul

Joy will fill nights and days.

Peace, oh what peace, Christ will bring to you

On your lips will be songs of praise.

The Joy of Praising

From the rising to the setting of the sun, each day, every day. We are to be continually and constantly praising our Lord. How can we not? As we watch the rising and setting sun, as we consider our Savior's love and majesty, as we see every detail that He works out in our lives, when we consider the life He has saved us from and the life He is giving us, how can we do anything but praise Him! What a wonderful praise-worthy God we have! To praise Him is not just a responsibility, it is an opportunity. We have the privilege to show our love and gratefulness to our God by praising Him.  When praising Him becomes a duty rather than a delight, we have lost the real sense of praise. Praising Him should bring us joy!
