²⁶ the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”’..

Wandering along the river

coming to the water falls

my spirit is troubled

the weight of it all

How to take care of things

can I survive

turmoil around me

wanting to thrive

Spirit like the water

tumbling over the cliff

sweat running down my brow

needing a lift

Suddenly in the sparkles

the Lord turned his face near me

calmness in my spirit

assurance that I am free

Weight of the world lifted

an encompassing peace

water slows to a ripple

spirit is released

Basking in the sunlight

water tickles my toes

the Lord is with me

no more woes

Content and at peace

bathed in the Light

resting on a rock

present and future are bright

Father

May you always be with us in times of trouble and grant us peace.

Amen
