In Acceptance Lieth Peace
Peace comes in accepting His will - Beautiful Poem
In acceptance lieth peace,
O my heart be still;
Let thy restless worries cease
And accept His will.
Though this test be not thy choice,
It is His -- therefore rejoice.
In His plan there cannot be
Aught to make thee sad:
If this is His choice for thee,
Take it and be glad.
Make from it some lovely thing
To the glory of thy King.
Cease from sighs and murmuring,
Sing His loving grace,
This thing means thy furthering
To a wealthy place.
From thy fears He'll give release,
In acceptance lieth peace.

My Husband died in June. I thought I was doing well, but tonight listening to music he
loved I fell apart. I am going to Griefshare - which is a wonderful faith based journey for
widows/widowers. It has helped me tremendously. Your poem is a comfort to me.
Thank you.
My mother's favorite. In a time such as our country with the political divide and immorality at its highest I'm praying for unity in the Body of Christ and Jesus' return.
My wife past away 4 mo. ago and this was very helpful. I will share with others, thanks.
