The Peace Speaker

One of my favorite songs is sung most beautifully by a dear friend, Tina. The song is titled "Peace Speaker." I believe the songwriter is Geron Davis.

This week I am in Wisconsin, alongside the western side of Lake Michigan, where overnight a mighty storm has blown onto the shoreline. From the hotel window, huge waves are crashing over the rock jetty and beating fiercely against the inspiring Mantiowoc Harbor Lighthouse.

In the midst of this lakeside storm, the lyrics of the Peace Speaker song are on my mind. I share them with you, reminding you that whatever storm you might find yourself in, Jesus is the one who says, Peace be still, not only to the storm but also to those of us who look to Him to make us storm survivors.

Here are the lyrics:

It was such a lovely day and the sun was shining bright.
A gentle breeze was blowing my way, not a storm cloud in sight.
And suddenly without a warming, a storm surrounded my life.
But even in the storm, I can feel the calm, and here´s the reason why.

I know the Peace Speaker, I know Him by name.
I know the Peace Speaker. He controls the winds and waves.
When He says "peace, be still", they have to obey.
I´m glad I know the Peace Speaker, yes I know Him by name.

There´s never been another man with the power of this friend.
By simply saying "peace, be still" He can calm the strongest wind.
So now I´ll never worry when storm clouds come my way.
I know that He is near, to drive away my fear, and I can smile and say:

I know the Peace Speaker. I know Him by name.
I know the Peace Speaker. He controls the winds and waves.
When He says "peace, be still", they have to obey.
I´m glad I know the Peace Speaker, yes I know Him by name.

Peace, peace, wonderful peace. Coming down from the Father above...
ALL JOY!
