Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The peace of God that passeth all understanding comes with total surrender to God in all things.
It is peace in the times of trouble.
It is peace that overwhelms our worries and helps us to rest in the will of God even when we can’t see what lies ahead.
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
