In this world of laughing hyenas,
where can peace be found
Is it in the wilderness, where hyenas abound
Is it in the jungle, so full of wild cats
Is it in the desert, with its snakes and with its rats
Is it in the city, with its concrete blocks and folks
Or is it in the Country Club, where egos get stroked
?
Where,
Oh where,
is Peace?
Jesus said:
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

He and He only is able to give us that peace. And that’s the joy that comes with serving the Lord.

I never really considered it to be a “where” but more a “what”

T, I’ve always believed peace is the freedom from all fear and anxiety.
