Sweet Peace

by PamFord Davis  
10/06/2022 / Devotionals

Remember when hippies made the peace sign?

The LORD is the source of true peace; He gives it as a gift to His children.

“The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace (Numbers 6:24-26 KJV).”

Jesus promised peace.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27 KJV).”

Peace is a gift of the Holy Spirit.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25 KJV).”

‘Sweet Peace, the Gift of God’s Love’ by Peter P. Gilham/Public Domain

There comes to my heart one sweet strain,
A glad and a joyous refrain,
I sing it again and again,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love,

Through Christ on the cross peace was made,
My debt by His death was all paid,
No other foundation is laid,
For peace, the gift of God’s love.

When Jesus as Lord I had crowned,
My heart with this peace did abound,
In Him the rich blessing I found,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

In Jesus for peace I abide,
And as I keep close to His side,
There’s nothing but peace doth betide,
Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.

Chorus

 

• Peace, peace, sweet peace,
  Wonderful peace from above,
  Oh, wonderful, wonderful peace,
  Sweet peace, the gift of God’s love.
