Shalowm Shalowm

Isaiah 26:3 verse

Perfect peace.

Provided by

The One in who created me.

His workmanship, encased by

His love.

Cinquain

This poem is based on Isaiah 26:3. I have prayed that verse many times over myself at night before shutting my eyes to sleep and as I read that verse this morning I wondered for the first time just what the original words for “perfect peace” were. An interlinear word search showed me that both words mean the same, or as we would say “shalom shalom” the highest peace possible. What a blessed way to sleep at night!

I love that verse too. There is an old chorus to those words though I don’t think I have ever heard it sung in a church. Here is one version of it. I didn’t know there was more than the one verse until I found this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2zg54iuogI
