Your peace will be like a river!

If you pay attention to God's commands
Your peace will be like a river,
Your righteousness like the waves of the sea!
Isaiah 48:18

















I can still see her eager little face
The first time she saw the ocean waves
She was only fifteen months of age
As she stood taking it all in
"Water coming! Water coming!" she exclaimed!

This was our first-born daughter
Gazing at the wonder of the waves
Forever coming to bless our days
And fill them with sharing and laughter,
Hugging, playing and praying together!

Argentina has been blessed
By many beautiful beaches and sunny days
Memories of happy times on the beach
Building sandcastles, playing ball,
Diving into the big waves and all!

God wants to give us this peace
Just like the waves of the sea
Always coming, always fresh,
Like the foam at your feet
It makes you wonder, it fills you to the brim!

  1. He drives all our fears away
    And sings to us
    during the night time of our souls!
    I can hear him calling...
    Here I am LORD
    Is it I LORD?
    He will nurture and feed the hungry
    And give new sight to the blind
    We must not fear man
    Because He made the stars
    Because He's got plans for us
    And nobody can bend his right arm!
    I trust
    I rest in his mercy and power and love,
    I take in His advice
    So my peace is like a river
    That never will run dry!
    Peace brother, peace Sister,
    Joy and strength
    In His mighty name!
    Blessings to you and your people,
    With much love in Him,
    Lilian
