Peace Be Still

Discouraged I buckle & fall
Without an inkling of how to rise
But Holy Spirit is there after all
You see my Father He hears my cries
Though I was weak I continued to pray
Feeling so lost I hated this life
Oh help me Jah was all I could say
My spirit sick knew only strife
And of course I would feel lost
In a world that's not for me
Beaten down & constantly tossed
Amongst wolves when I am a sheep
Then my Savior He calls my name
Prodding me back to His fold
He lifts me up & heals my pain
Was incomplete but now I'm whole

Peace Be Still
I silently prayed & the madness all ceased
Peace Be Still
He lifted me up & blessed me with His Peace

And I don't know why
Can't describe
See words are not enough
All I know is with His love and His wisdom
He got me through when life's been rough
And just know that there were times when I thought that He'd abandoned me
Oh so weak all I could say was Jah please help me
And then He taught me peace

Peace Be Still
I silently prayed & the madness all ceased
Peace Be Still
He lifted me up & blessed me with His Peace

This is a nicely constructed piece. i think it gets to the point well, and you didn't lose focus throughout the body.

this flowed well. i like the line 'amongst wolves when i am a sheep'.very strong poem on a religious and spiritual level.the repeated ines of peace be style gave the feeling of a hymn. nice content .
