Fall Into the Arms of Peace

A Poem by John D. High
Fall into the arms of peace There’s a place where the troubles melt away Where all the fight is gone Your muscles relax and you can breathe easy Staying in this place isn’t easy sometimes It takes relaxation and a grace to stay focused on the Father Getting there is a journey One of walking with the Father through the fire Having Him guide you and gently nudge you to drop the pains of the past And Jesus showing you the way To lay your burdens at the foot of the cross Letting them be crucified with him and not picking them up again What a sweet place A place to be sought after, but even more A place to be shown by your loving Father and his wonderful son A place paid for by their work for you Not a place you have to earn the right to be in This place of peace is free Come on in and stay a while Settle down and relax Let your troubles melt away This is the place we want to stay
