Where God Walks Peace Follows

“Where God Walks, Peace Follows”

 When shadows fall and nights grow long,
His whisper lifts my weary song.
Through valleys deep and mountains high,
His presence keeps my spirit nigh.

No fear can steal what God secures,
No storm can shake the love that cures.
He walks beside me, calm and sure,
A refuge steadfast, strong, and pure.

His light breaks through the darkest haze,
A guiding torch through all my days.
He holds my hand when strength is small,
And lifts me up so I won’t fall.

His mercy meets me every dawn,
A gentle grace to lean upon.
In every breath His love is near,
A holy calm that dries each tear.

  Fear thou not; for I am with thee. — Isaiah 41:10

When doubts arise like winds that roar,
He anchors me forevermore.
His peace surrounds my trembling heart,
And bids my deepest fears depart.

He speaks, and storms begin to cease,
My restless soul finds perfect peace.
His promises my shelter stay,
My compass through the hardest day.

He knows my steps, He knows my name,
His love forever stays the same.
No trial comes beyond His sight,
No darkness hides me from His light.

So in His Presence I remain,
Through joy, through loss, through every pain.
For where He walks, my soul is blessed,
And in His arms, I find my rest.

My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. — Exodus 33:14

“LORD, let Your Presence steady my heart and quiet every fear. Walk with me through every moment and let Your peace surround my soul.  In Jesus name, Amen.”

  1. CD, Thank you for this encouraging and inspiring poem. It tugs at the heart and helps us to lean more on Jesus!

  2. When He speaks peace, all troubles will cease!
    Like Him walking on stormy waves, He spoke and it had to obey.
    In Him we need to abide,
    For He is the only trustworthy Guide

    He shoulders our concerns so on Him we learn
    In the pages of His word, He is our Counselor.
    His strength that upholds,
    All who are in His ‘sheep’ fold.

    The Mighty God of Israel can never fail
    Wonderful is His name, glory in the highest the angels did proclaim
    And we join in together to do the same.

    Everlasting Father with unlimited power,
    Oh the love He does shower on us every moment; every hour.
    Caring for our life by way of His sacrifice.
    Destroying our enemy
    Granting us a future destiny
    In the realm of Heaven we will forever be!

    • Isaiah 9::6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

      Thank you Camille for your excellent expression of His goodness and grace. Loved your poem that speaks from your heart His ways that sustains us from the moment we become His children.
