Peace

 This afternoon I watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy called The Music Event.  This song in it touched me deeply, and I thought it fit perfectly with what came to me in light of the recent events I wrote about in my previous post.

I am thankful beyond words that there exists within us a place where we can find peace.  I don't know if there will ever be peace in this world, outside of us.  I can only hope that it be.  I believe it is we who must choose to be at peace.  Yet no matter what is going on outside us, and our reactions to it, there is a place within that is quiet, that we can reach for, a place to find rest from the storm...an eye of the storm, if you will.  There I can go to be still, with my God, and find my way clear until the storm has passed.

Be still, and know...there exists within you a place of peace that you can visit whenever you wish.  

I hope you enjoy this song...below it are the lyrics.  ( I claim no rights to the song, video, or lyrics.)


 

Chasing Cars

We'll do it all, everything, on our own.
We don't need anything, or anyone.

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.

I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words, are said too much, they're not enough.

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.
I need your grace to remind me, to find my own.

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

All that I am, all that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where, confused about how as well
just know that these things will never change for us at all.

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
