Peace River

When my life Is filled with grief When I question my belief Peace River come to me Flow from heaven set me free From on high to dark valley Crystal pure a gift from Thee Give me rest from my toil Nourish flowers Feed parched soil Peace River sooth my eyes A remedy for earthly lies Living water brings me rest A gift from God that’s truly blessed. Look into my eyes There you will see That river flows inside of me.

The river of peace is within us. If we look intently, we can trace its source. By following its course, we can drink from this river. Your abidance in God is greatly appreciated. Stay blessed dear Richard.

Such a wonderful, tranquil read Richard. So well written and flows beautifully just like the river! Love the lines,’Flow from heaven, set me free’ ‘ Living water, brings me rest.’ Inspiring. So enjoyed it - like a meditation poem. Thank you for sharing my poetic friend and for leaving such a lovely comment on my page earlier. So kind. Blessings to you.
