Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
While waiting to see the doctor, I find the time moves faster when I recall scriptures I’ve memorized over the years.
Isaiah 26:3 is one of my favorites.
It’s a good way to have perfect peace.
Wonderful Peace

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight — Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm; — In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls — O’er my soul like an infinite calm.
CHORUS:
Peace, peace, wonderful peace, — Coming down from the Father above! — Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray — In fathomless billows of love!
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace, — Buried deep in the heart of my soul, — So secure that no power can mine it away, — While the years of eternity roll!
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace, — Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control; — For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day, — And His glory is flooding my soul!
And I think when I rise to that city of peace, — Where the Author of peace I shall see, — That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing — In that heavenly kingdom will be:
Ah soul, are you here without comfort and rest, — Marching down the rough pathway of time? — Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark; — Oh, accept this sweet peace so sublime!
Warren D. Cornell 1889
