PEACE

 

written by LaDonna (Salmond) Harris in October 1997

 

Those who’s hearts are torn

Know pain that none may know;

Their anguish is deeper

than any can imagine.

 

Their tears do fall

like streams of water.

No comfort found

in those around.

 

I wander to the forests -

I look for comfort there.

I find it not;

They’re not the same.

 

I walk the roads -

to town and back.

I find no peace;

It used to work.

 

My heart is torn;

I know great pain

My anguish deeper

than imagined.

 

My tears are falling

like mighty rivers.

I’ll find my comfort

in only one,

Christ, the Lord.

 

Prov. 3:5&6, Phil. 4:13
