Wonderful Peace

Yesterday I was looking for a song that would help give me some peace. I've mentioned to several people that I was having some health issues and needed prayer. I have been having episodes that make me feel like I'm going to pass out. This also happens where the tubing for a shunt was put into my brain 11 years ago. The feeling happened so much a week ago that my husband took me to the ER. The doctor did a CT Scan of my head and X-rays following the tubing to make sure the tubing and shunt were okay which they were. My medical doctor scheduled a CTA Scan of the arteries in my neck and head which I had done yesterday but will not have the report for several days. After listening to the song Wonderful Peace which is an old, old song (no words, just music by a very great piano player, I still had no peace.) When the girl laid me down on the CT Scan table and I looked up, in the ceiling was the most beautiful site. I assume this was a light, but it showed a very bright sky with Dogwood Flowers along the left and right sides. When I saw that and remembering the scenes I saw in the video I knew in my heart that God was right there with me. I have had complete peace and the scan, with dye, went well without any problems. We just never know how God will answer our prayers but rest assured He will. I've put the lyrics to the song below the video. Prayerfully it will give someone the peace they need. I would appreciate your continued prayers, however, no matter how this turns out I know that God is with me just as He has been in the past. I love all of you and thanks to all who have prayed and to you who will pray on my behalf. God bless everyone.

Pianist Dino Kartsonakis


WONDERFUL PEACE
Authors, W.D. Cornell and W.G. Cooper

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial strains it unceasingly falls
O'er my soul like an infinite calm.

Refrain

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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain

And I think when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Anchor of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom will be:

Refrain

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;
O accept of this peace so sublime!

Refrain


Ephesians 5:20: "giving thanks always for all things to
God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Thank you Alice for this 'peaceful' visit on your blog today. Coming here and watching that video...one where I noticed had a lot of 'peaceful' water scenes reminded my heart to let the living water of God wash over me and surround me in peace! Hugs to you!

Hi Sis,
You know I'm there for you my sister, and we will keep each other in prayer because I also will have tests done for my liver.
God is our peace and he will be there with us as we go through our tests and recieve our results.

Luv Ya Lorie

I absolutely love Dino's music. And guess what, he is a friend of mine on Facebook! I sent him some of my music once, and he wrote me a nice letter back. He was pretty busy, but said he would file the music. I want him to hear my snowflakes song, when I get the copyright.
Praying for your healing, Dear ~ I just try to keep my mind on Jesus during all those tests! And I love the Bibles in the waiting rooms. :)
God bless you ~
Cathy
