Many distractions will dictate
But we make the choice each day,
To choose peace instead of noise
In the smallest types of ways.
We reduce the loudest noise
Or the voices that condemn,
And tune in to God’s instruction
Where serenity will stem.
We remove the negativity
That the mainstream will present,
And choose to trust in God instead
With the promises He sent.
There’s a process that transpires
When a surrender will take place,
When the voices do subside
And where His blessings we do face.
And there’s peace within the noise
When the soul learns to be still,
When the heart it will be anchored
And where forgiveness is instilled.
Temporary is the approval
And validation from mankind,
But the gentle loving kindness
From God’s voice it will refine.
From the noise to much poise
Where transformation will occur,
When God’s Spirit with His grace
And His voice is clearly heard.
Because the noise it will confuse
And bring frustrations along the way,
But the rivers of living water
Will ensure that peace remains.
