Author: Michael Perry, 1942-1996 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #741 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Like a mighty river flowing,
like a flower in beauty growing,
far beyond all human knowing
is the perfect peace of God.
2 Like the hills serene and even,
like the coursing clouds of heaven,
like the heart that's been forgiven
is the perfect peace of God.
3 Like the summer breezes playing,
like the tall trees softly swaying,
like the lips of silent praying
is the perfect peace of God.
4 Like the morning sun ascended,
like the scents of evening blended,
like a friendship never ended
is the perfect peace of God.
5 Like the azure ocean swelling,
like the jewel all-excelling,
far beyond our human telling
is the perfect peace of God. Topics: Children and Youth Peace; Companion / Friend; Creation; Forgiveness / Pardon; One Life in Christ Peace; Prayer / Prayers / Poems Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 Languages: English Tune Title: QUEM PASTORES LAUDAVERE
