The Lord is PEACE
by DeAnna Brooks THE LORD IS PEACE (Judges 6:24) There was an altar built of stone By Gideons hands twas made An altar near a terebinth tree Where God spoke, Be not afraid! Jehovah came and met with him And face-to-face they spoke He built and altar to mark that day To remind him when he woke. Peace! declared the Lord that eve, Peace tween you and me. And Gideon heard and faith was birthed Beneath that oaken tree. The Lord is Peace had come to seek A heart lost and sore afraid And give him His assurances The path to peace in Him was laid. While Gideons altar stood made of stone Another altar came to be Where God did lay His precious Son Upon an oaken tree Those spoken words to Gideon fell Promising peace that yet would come The Lord is Peace would be the name The Father bestowed upon the Son. So in the storms of life I face Or the joys beyond degree May my soul lay claim to the promise made The Lord of Peace, He died for me. 2 April 2005 DeAnna L. Brooks DeAnna Brooks (December 5, 2007) Having raised four children, I live now in Texas. Mostly my writing is a sojourn with God. I find myself ever planted in Eden, glorying in its abundant and rich communion with the Almighty. Or, I am looking back, with longing. And the sojourn continues.
