NO PEACE

“No Peace”

No peace in the silence,

No joy in the noise,

I searched for the answers

In treasures and toys.

I ran after pleasure,

I chased every thrill,

But the emptiness echoed,

And lingered there still.

I looked to the world

For meaning and light,

But darkness would find me

Each day and each night.

Then I met Jesus —

And everything changed.

The weight that I carried

Was suddenly rearranged.

Where striving had left me

Restless and torn,

His love brought a peace

Like a calm after storm.

Now pleasure has purpose,

And life has a flame,

For nothing fulfilled me

Until Jesus’ name.

No peace in this world

Could ever increase —

Until I found Him,
