My heart has such peace that the world doesn’t know As I stand in faith, I feel God’s mercy overflow Oh, that the world would know of God’s greatness that surrounds Of His love and grace that has no limits and no bounds Peace like a blanket He sends to comfort my heart When I trust God, the gift of faith He’ll impart Know the perfect love of God can cast out all fear As I draw nearer, His voice I will hear When this life is over and I see life’s lessons I’ve learned I’ll find it was God’s grace that could not be bought nor earned I’ll understand His love in everything I went through Life’s mysteries uncovered as I see from God’s view Debbie Furey March 3, 2022 Isaiah 55:8–9 – “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55 1 John 4 Did you ever feel God’s peace like a blanket cover you? That is what I felt this morning as I wrote this poem. It reminded me of the time shortly after my husband’s death when I was looking for a new home. As I walked through the model home in January 2013, I stood in the master bedroom near the window and tried to picture myself living there. As I did, it was like a blanket of peace came down and covered me and comforted me. All of a sudden, I knew this was home. After the house was built and I was living in it, the place where I felt the peace of God falling on me that cold winter day is the place where I do my daily devotions. I don’t think that was a coincidence. In making big decisions in your life always seek God’s peace.
