Sweet Contentment

Peace and sweet contentment
are mine each day I live,
for I know the Master,
and they are His to give.

No storm of life that comes
will ever frighten me,
for God says "Peace be still,"
His spirit covers me.

Clouds may drive the sunshine
completely from my view,
but beyond life's mountain
the day will break anew.

The ocean waves may roar
from sun to sun each day,
the best friend that I have
is likely to betray.

Banks may fail completely,
the dollar be worth naught,
but I'll keep serving Christ
the way that Christians ought.

The Bible tells us how
to live our lives at peace,
just give your life to Christ,
you'll find such sweet release.

Contentment follows those
who live for God each day,
and go to Him in pray'r
each step along the way.
