Provider of Peace

(Sometimes the Holy Spirit inspires me to write a poem from the perspective I haven't experienced. Some call it prophetic. Maybe it's God just giving me taste of understanding I couldn't achieve on my own. This is one of those poems... written some time ago for a beloved friend.)

Provider of peace, I'm needing You
Come as You would and fill me too
All around in the world I see
A selfish existence that angers me
There is no peace in this world full of greed
But men seeking glory and a power that bleeds
But yet in my midst, in my loved ones I see
Something different that's attracting me
There is something they have
That takes them away
To a place of rest and bids them stay
Refreshing their spirits
Giving strength to their soul
To face the world contented and whole
Provider of peace, have You something for me
To take me from this insanity
Help me to know, to understand
To find Your peace in this broken land
Provider of peace, I'm needing You
Come as You would and fill me too
