When I was in the final stage of labor, just minutes away from Jethro being born the song Peace, Peace Wonderful Peace began playing over the speakers. It was a busy hustle and bustle to move me from one labor position to another. I remember hearing the muddled voices around me saying we needing baby out – soon. But what rang clearer than anything else was the sweet tune and medley of this classic hymn.
I didn't know then that even in that moment the Lord was preparing my heart, mind, and spirit. Letting me know that everything was going to be 'okay'. That His peace was with me and never going to let me go.
Peace, Peace, Wonderful PeaceW.D. Cornell, 1889
A Song for My Soul
These are the sweet words I sang over my Jethro as he laid in the NICU. These are the words we sang as we made our way to lie him at his final resting place. These are the words I continue to sing when I rise. Each phrase speaks my heart's desire and reminds of the blessed assurance that I will carry all of my days.
