Do you ever just long for some peace in your life? Where do you go to get peace? I find peace in His word.
Phillippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understandings, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
RAINDANCE
Looking out
I see the clouds are rolling in.
I stand and watch
as if I'm looking for some sign.
How can it be
that I feel so out of place?
How can it be
that I feel so far from home?
And at that moment
when the rain begins to fall...
As the drops begin to trace their paths
down the window pane...
I wonder why...
I wonder why...
How many times
have I come to this place.
How many times
have I stood
on the edge looking out...
at a world
I just don't understand...
And longed for a touch to bring me "peace".
How can it be
that I feel so out of place?
How can it be
that I feel so all alone?
And at that moment
When my soul begins to ache...
And the drops of rain trace their paths
down the window pane...
I wonder why...
I wonder why...
I think of how
my life is like the rain.
Searching for a resting place
I never seem to find.
And I know
that too soon the time will come
When like the rain
my dreams will vanish in the sun.
Why must it be
that I feel so all alone?
Why must it be
that the answer never comes?
And the sound of the rain
is all I hear...
And the endless drops continue
on their way into the night.
I wonder why...
Please tell me why..
And still I stand
and watch
As if
I had no place to go.
Waiting for the rain
to wash me clean.
Waiting for the rain
to make me whole.
Waiting for a touch
to take me home...
(written by a Christian friend of mine)
The soul cries out and longs for peace. True peace can come in the rain and wash us and comfort us.
Hosea 6:3
Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the
winter rains,
like the spring rains that
water the earth."
