IN TURBULENT TIMES

May the sun lift its face upon your life
When darkness suddenly appears 
To hinder your walk of peace and tranquility 

May the voice of Christ calm the ferocious wind
That seeks to carry your thoughts adrift 
Leaving you stranded beyond the shores of reality 

May the miracle of an oasis of wisdom appear 
When your mind becomes overwhelmed and starved
For clarity and direction of life's journey 

May the peace of God that surpass all human understanding 
Keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus 
Evermore.
