Take the time to look back and reflect
Ways I led you in the past that you did not expect
Dark was the path and you seemed all alone
When you stepped forth in faith, My will became known

My peace is one way I lead those who follow Me
It can’t be explained–an impenetrable mystery
Remember and learn to wait for My peace
Don’t move without feeling this guiding release

Remember and learn from the times you felt all alone
It drove you to seek the One seated on His throne
I draw near to the broken, those humble of heart
As you stop to seek Me, My guidance I impart

My thoughts are not your thoughts, you might not understand
How the good and the bad can all come from My hand
Satan can do nothing without My permission
To persevere and overcome will be your decision
