Wonderful Peace

John 14

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that,

when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Refrain:
Peace! peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above;
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.

What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul;
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll. (Refrain)

I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul. (Refrain)

Worship Suggestion:

The sound file is looped.

1. As the song plays the first time, make remarks about finding peace in a hectic world. Emphasize that the busy and confusing times in which we live should not prevent us from enjoying the peace of Christ in our hearts. (During Verses 1-2)

3. During Verse 3, read John 14:1-3 and John 14:27-29

Let the song end. 

4. When the song restarts sing Verses 1-3 together.

5. Prayer and Meditation.
