Philippians 4:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)
7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
“Peace on earth … Goodwill to man”
All are asleep in this given shelter
The day still hiding in now and then
Before it brings “helter-skelter”
A world of dreams now rules the time
That has been given to the darkness
Children rest in arms of Thine
The One Who created all righteousness
What happened to true serenity?
Who broke the strands woven in peace?
Who imported confusing animosity?
And stuffed warm hearts into a freeze
Why the change of perfection?
Why the sorrows and the griefs?
Who instigated dissatisfaction?
And made a world of make-belief
Many questions … a few answers
Everyone addicted to own opinion
Me and you the risky dancers
On a rope called: “continuum”
Down below an awaiting pit
Where no mercy can be found
But that is not all of it
as some may fall Heaven-bound
The tie that binds us together
Surely keeps us from falling down
Now that nothing really matters
As we’re dressed for Holy Ground
This is available for everyone
Who hears the voice of The One?
Who enjoys in the morning sun
For all to grow when the day is done
Jan Wienen
