For depressed or anxious Christians, perhaps the most beautiful line, “You have been my King of Glory, won’t you be my Prince of Peace?”
It’s so much easier for us to believe God is a King of Glory than our Prince of Peace, isn’t it? And so that’s our prayer.
Please be our prince of peace.
Rich Mullin’s, “Hold me, Jesus”:
Well, sometimes, my life just don’t make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small
So hold me Jesus cause I’m shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won’t you be my Prince of Peace?
And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It’s so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart
So hold me, Jesus, cause I’m shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won’t you be my Prince of Peace
Surrender don’t come natural to me
I’d rather fight you for something I don’t really want
Than to take what you give that I need
And I’ve beat my head against so many walls
Now I’m falling down, I’m falling on my knees
And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin
So hold me, Jesus, cause I’m shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won’t you be my Prince of Peace
