🍊 Before my eyes open in the morning
At the instance of submerging from sleep
Even before I am aware of anything external
I experience something so powerful and so deep
🍋 My eye lids slowly open from their rest
And I extend one arm to test the air
Whatever my sense of touch detects
My internal peace is always there
🍌 It’s the start of a brand new day
I rise and prepare for its future
Knowing this peace will not be fazed
Because it is an inexhaustible treasure
🍉 To try and explain its presence in me
Would be like trying to describe the indescribable
You have to be inside my skin to know
And that would be impossible
🍇 This peace is from God and it guards me
Jesus left it here 2000 years ago
The first to have it were the Disciples
A special gift which you can know
🍓 Sometimes you can see it in my eyes
Or hear it behind my voice
It has something of eternal life in it
And inwardly I choose to rejoice
🍈 All pain is denied at the door
Situations and circumstances cannot penetrate
Man tries but cannot touch this core
Peace is always early and never late
🍒 When the day turns into history
And I retire in the evening in peace.
I rest sweetly on my cosy pillow
And withdraw my arm back under the sheets
🍑 I gently close my eyes and rest
And before long I’m fast asleep
God has been faithful today
His gift of peace is mine to keep
🍍 This heavenly gift I received was free
And you can have it with ease
Give Jesus Christ your entire life
In return He’ll give you eternal peace
