At the cross love ran red

 Song by

Chris Tomlin

There's a place where mercy reigns

And never dies

There's a place where streams of grace

Flow deep and wide

Where all the love I've ever found

Comes like a flood

Comes flowing down

At the cross, at the cross

I surrender my life

I'm in awe of You

I'm in awe of You

Where Your love ran red

And my sins washed white

I owe all to You

I owe all to You, Jesus

There's a place where sin and shame

Are powerless

When my heart has peace with God

And forgiveness

Where all the love I've ever found

Comes like a flood

Comes flowing down

At the cross, at the cross

I surrender my life

I'm in awe of You

I'm in awe of You

Where Your love ran red

And my sins washed white

I owe all to You

I owe all to You

Here my hope is found

Here on holy ground

Here I bow down

Here I bow down

Here arms open wide

Here You save my life

Here I bow down

Here I bow

At the cross, at the cross

I surrender my life

I'm in awe of You

I'm in awe of You (Jesus, I'm in awe of You)

Where Your love ran red

And my sins washed white

I owe all to You

I owe all to You

I owe all to You

I owe all to You, Jesus

Oh (Savior of the world, Jesus)

Savior of the world (Savior of the world, Jesus)

Your love ran red, Your love ran red (Savior of the world, Jesus)

Peace

 That's a powerful and meaningful topic. The Bible is full of verses about peace, offering comfort and assurance in times of trouble. Here are some of the most well-known and comforting scriptures on peace, along with a brief explanation of what they mean.

1. Isaiah 26:3

> "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you."

> 

This verse from the Old Testament highlights the connection between trusting God and experiencing peace. "Perfect peace" is a beautiful translation of the Hebrew, which literally uses the word "peace" twice for emphasis. It suggests a complete and unwavering tranquility that comes from focusing your thoughts and trust on God, rather than on your circumstances.

2. John 14:27

> "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

> 

In this verse, Jesus speaks to his disciples before his death. He makes a distinction between the peace he gives and the peace the world offers. The world's peace is often based on the absence of conflict or problems. Jesus's peace, however, is an inner calm that is possible even in the midst of trials and fear. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit that is independent of external circumstances.

3. Philippians 4:6-7

> "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

> 

This is a well-known passage that provides a practical guide for finding peace. It instructs us to combat anxiety not by worrying, but by praying with a heart of gratitude. When we do this, the "peace of God" — a peace that is beyond human comprehension — acts as a guard, protecting our minds and emotions from fear and turmoil.

4. John 16:33

> "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

> 

Jesus is very direct here, acknowledging that tribulation is a reality in the world. He doesn't promise a life free of trouble, but he does promise peace in him. The key is his victory over the world, which gives us hope and the strength to face challenges with courage and an inner sense of peace.

5. Romans 5:1

> "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

> 

This verse speaks to the foundational peace that Christians have with God. It is a peace that comes from being made right with him through the sacrifice of Jesus. This is not about a temporary feeling, but a permanent state of reconciliation and right relationship with our Creator.

These are just a few examples, but they provide a powerful foundation for a blog post about finding peace in faith. You could choose one of these verses as a central theme and write about what it means to you, or how it has helped you personally.
