Analysis of The Whispered Peace
The Whispered Peace
In the evening twilight the sun is almost gone
Sadness overtakes me for all the things gone wrong
Questions with no answers things I cannot know
Waves of grief surround me unrest fills my soul
And as the darkness sets in and closes all around
Peace and love and goodness seem nowhere to be found
I look above and ask my God “How can these things be so?”
And silence is the answer amid the stars aglow
Yet, as I ponder deeper and grapple for a sign
I feel a sense of time and peace amid the stars that shine
There is a Silent Whisper God’s love will never cease
And even in the midst of death He still can bring us peace
For even in the darkness the stars still shine above
They whisper of God’s goodness they shout that He is Love
There is no grief, no sorrow that His love can’t reach
There is no hate so strong that Love cannot defeat
For long ago He conquered the darkness and the hate
He promised us He will return and until then we wait
He said to carry on - to love our neighbors as our own
To pray and give and help them until He calls us home
And by this all the world will know that love is still alive
That God still walks among us within these troubled times
