This Is Perfect Peace

Written for a friend. Written from my heart.

God most high, I call for mercies new. I am weary with distress.
Having born the weight of sorrowing, I am broken--I confess.

In the furnace of affliction, And the wilderness lain bare--
You have never left me wandering--I have always found you there.

Savior, grant that I would honor You. Choose the painful path if best--
Draw me closer to Your holiness--In Your shadow, let me rest.

Mold me wholly to Your likeness, Melt the dross and purge the fray--
Shape and fashion, fortify my steps, In my weakness, lead the way.

Heavenly Father, I have found in You--Mercies new and strength to stand--
Lead me where Your healing waters flow, Guide me with Your precious hand.

Since Your power knows no limits. And Your mercies never cease--
Proffer grace to rest inside the storm--Knowing this is perfect peace.
