The chorus went something like this: "Cheer up ye saints of God there's nothing to worry about; nothing to make you feel afraid, nothing to make you doubt. Remember Jesus never fails, so why not trust Him and shout? You'll be sorry you worried at all tomorrow morning."
Jesus put it this way:
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."
"These things have I spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage--be of good cheer--I have overcome the world."
In a troubled world, a world of tribulation, He gives us His peace--the peace beyond human comprehension. A peace that allows us to focus our minds on the things that are worthy of praise. A peace that enables us to love as fully as He loved. "Father, forgive them because they know not what they do." A peace that rests in the unimaginable truth that He died for us, rose again, and is returning for us that where He is we might be also for all eternity. He is our Overcomer--that we, too, might be overcomers in a troubled world. "And who is he who overcomes the world, but He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."

"There comes to my heart one sweet strain, a glad and a joyous refrain; I sing it again and again, sweet peace, the gift of God's love."
