The hymn goes along with a blog post I wrote five years ago about a woman who wanted to know, "Where is the peace Christians talk about? What would it be like if I ever did have it?" You can read that old blog post here:
OLD POST:
Also, read through the hymn below and you will see how it coincides with that old post.
HYMN:
Words by: John S. Brown
Music by: L.O. Brown
I cannot tell thee whence it came,
I cannot tell thee whence it came,
This peace within my breast;
But this I know, there fills my soul
A strange and tranquil rest.
Refrain
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.
Beneath the toil and care of life,
But this I know, there fills my soul
A strange and tranquil rest.
Refrain
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.
Beneath the toil and care of life,
This hidden stream flows on;
My weary soul no longer thirsts,
Nor am I sad and lone.
Refrain
I cannot tell the half of love,
My weary soul no longer thirsts,
Nor am I sad and lone.
Refrain
I cannot tell the half of love,
Unfeigned, supreme, divine,
That caused my darkest inmost self
With beams of hope to shine.
Refrain
I cannot tell thee why He chose
That caused my darkest inmost self
With beams of hope to shine.
Refrain
I cannot tell thee why He chose
To suffer and to die,
But if I suffer here with Him
I’ll reign with Him on high.
Refrain
But if I suffer here with Him
I’ll reign with Him on high.
Refrain
Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV)
Love it!
