For He Is Our Peace~ Ephesians 2:14







Life only guarantees the unexpected. Each individual
will encounter many joys and sorrows in his journey.
Friends, family, and possessions will come and go.
Christ is the only constant in an ever-changing world,
and He is our peace.~~






Peace in the Valley








This old mortal body is worn
From the storms of life I have seen
But some wonderful day in Glory
There’ll be peace in the valley for me

Sometimes I can’t wait to get there
And leave all these trials behind
No more sorrows or heartaches
All will be glory divine







There’s no need for light in that city
God’s Son will shine bright as day
Mansion there will be ready
On that happy and glorious day

The beast up there will be gentle
When we look upon the Great I AM
The peace among all creatures will be evident
When the lion lays down with the lamb







O what glory when we get to see Jesus
Who died on the cross of Calvary
When I kneel at His feet I will thank Him
There will be peace in the valley for me

I’ll sing and shout when I get there
I’ll praise Him for all He has done
My Lord and My God and my Savior
He gave us His own Precious Son







The storms of live will be ended
Teardrops will fall no more
Man cannot even imagine
The beauty that God has in store

I will never cease praising the Master
When upon His sweet face I can see
I’ll be changed from this shell that I live in
There’ll be peace in the valley for me
