Psalm 56
With a peace my
heart’s o’erflowing-
Peace the world can’t understand.
I have a few of
earth’s possessions.
I’m a stranger in the land.
No, they can’t see
why happiness
Should all my being thrill.
But I have some
hid possessions
God has shared, my life to fill.
He gave peace and
joy, contentment
When He took away my sin.
Cleansed me by His
precious Son’s blood.
Guild’t all gone. He lives within.
They know not why
I am singing
While the mighty billows roll.
They can’t see I’m
safe with Jesus.
He’s the anchor of my soul.
They can’t see the
hand I’m holding,
Which belongs to God in heaven.
Nor the Shepherd
who is leading,
Though the journey’s all uneven.
I thankYou, God
above me,
For the peace the world can’t give,
And for constantly
abiding
By my side while here I live.
As I endeavor to
train my children these few short years they are with me, I want to concentrate
on teaching them that the invisible blessings which God has os abundantly given
us are those which can never be taken away if we cling to them in faith. May
they have the kind of faith which sees and knows the invisible better than the
visible.
