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

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.
