Southern Peace
© 2009 - William C. Highsmith
When the world is in turmoil, with strife on every hand, there is peace to be found. With numerous wars ongoing and folks seeking to kill and maim one another, there is peace to be found. With the government attempting to limit our God given rights, there is peace to be found.

I do not mean to seem like an ostrich that buries it's head in the sand when frightened. The problems are real and substantial but one can still find peace.

In the South, there is no place more naturally peaceful than 'in the woods - down by the river'.

However, I am reminded of the One True Source Of Peace - The Prince Of Peace. I wrote something long ago that applies here. It was titled:

The Holy Light
© 1973 William C. Highsmith

Once I wandered thru this world,
Countless terrors did abound.
Searching - but not a friend could be found.
Since I saw the Holy Light,
In my heart there is no fright.
There is peace, there is peace in my soul.

I met my Lord and I know
He now walks with me each day!
Seeking - I have found the Only Way.
I am in His Mighty Hand
While I sojourn in this land.
There is peace, there is peace in my soul.

I am covered by His blood;
And, this garment is made clean.
Marvel - Just look to see what it means.
All that's sin I do abhor -
I am His forever more.
There in peace, there is peace in my soul.
