“Peace, peace to the far and to the near!”

The deep trembles

Proud waves recede

Their maker has spoken

“As I dwell in the high and holy place,

so do I also dwell with the lowly,

the contrite.”

Tumult ceases

Seafoam dissipates

“I am their peaceful habitation,

their secure dwelling.

I lead them to waters of rest.”

Sediment sinks to the bottom

A glassy sea mirrors the palette sky

Great calm rages through the hearts of His children

“The wicked are like the tossing sea;

There is no peace for them

I give my Son to the repentant

There is only peace for them.”
