The Prince of Peace

 " My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid" John 14: 27

            The lass dreams of a Prince
            The lad imagines he’s a prince
            But there is one true and real
            clothed in full armor;
            Mighty and powerful yet gentle
            He reaches out unexpected
            Times when low and doubting
            lost in shame and guilt
            rejected and abandoned;
            He knocks ever so gently
            Invited, He sits to sup’
            His presence inescapable
            merciful and compassionate;
            Promptly you empty your heart
            fear and pain revealed,
            confessing your guilt and shame;
            Your soul cleansed and restored
            peace abide within like never.
            The lass has met her prince
            The lad knows he is a prince!
