At Peace in Our Worry - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Keeping life in perspective
whatever may come our way
focused on Jesus
our Savior, every day

We may be at peace
even within our worry
leaving it to God
he alone makes us worthy

Redeemed by his grace
the gift of the Son
only in his mercy
do we have an eternal home

The life a mere whisper
a journey in servanthood
offering our witness
of love alive in the world

Guided by the Spirit
burning within us
leading us to share his message
a light to the whole world
