Prince of Peace

Yesterday was the second Sunday of Advent, and my heart was treasuring Jesus as our "Prince of Peace." No other name of Jesus is more beautiful to me than this. While with our church family, we sang this song. It blended so beautifully with the theme of peace already within my heart. I want to share it with you here...

"I Have a Shelter"

Sovereign Grace Music

I have a shelter in the storm

When troubles pour upon me

Though fears are rising like a flood

My soul can rest securely

Oh, Jesus, I will hide in you

My place of peace and solace

No trial is deeper than your love

That comforts all my sorrows

I have a shelter in the storm

When all my sins accuse me

Though justice charges me with guilt

Your grace will not refuse me

Oh, Jesus, I will hide in you

Who bore my condemnation

I find my refuge in your wounds

For there I find salvation

I have a shelter in the storm

When constant winds would break me

For in my weakness I have learned

Your strength will not forsake me

Oh, Jesus, I will hide in you

The one who bears my burdens 

With faithful hands that cannot fail

You'll bring me home to heaven

"For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Isaiah 9:6
