When tempests rise and roar against the heart, A deeper calm holds fast beneath the wave; No fear can tear that quietness apart, Nor shake the strength that faithful mercy gave. For peace is born where God’s sure presence stays— A steady light that darkness cannot bind; It guides the soul through all uncertain days, And keeps a gentle watch upon the mind. This peace is not the fragile peace of rest, But courage wrapped in stillness from above; A calm that settles even in distress, And whispers through the storm His steadfast love. For peace is this: to trust His sovereign grace, And find our trembling stilled within His face.
