If you have been reading, you have probably picked up on the fight for peace that sometimes rages on. It is a fight worth fighting and a war already won. More on that later . . .
But for now- I found this hymn that I don’t recall singing before, but wow, beautiful words. I added a few extra lines, a simple prayer: Sweet Spirit of Peace, still my heart.
Come, Holy Spirit, still my heart
With gentleness divine
Indwelling peace you can impart
O make that blessing mine
Give me a heart of calm repose
Amid the world’s loud roar
A life that like a river flows
Along a peaceful shore
Come, Holy Spirit, breathe that peace
That victory make me win
Then shall my soul it’s conflict cease
And find a heaven within
(John B. Dykes)
