At Peace

I cannot be
at peace
when there is
wrong within.
I know
no inner calm
if I hold
onto sin.

My arms
I can lay down
and face
the God I wrong.
His arms outstretch
to hold me –
the guilt of sin
is gone.

I come
because you call –
my struggling
has ceased.
And in your arms
of love,
at last I am
at peace.
