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
