They watch the stillness of your hands,
and call your peace a quiet crime.
Because you bow to His commands,
and step outside the rush of time,
the world will twist its heavy hand
to strike a fault they cannot find.
It is not flesh they seek to break,
it is the Glory locked within.
The quiet stand you choose to make
rebukes the darkness of their sin.
They hate the stance you have to take,
because of where your steps begin.
Yet in the heat of mocking eyes,
a deeper peace begins to flow.
Surpassing all that human wise
or earthly minds could ever know.
It lifts the soul above the lies,
and makes the fading courage grow.
So lift the blood-stained banner high,
and do not falter on the track.
Beneath the gaze of heaven’s eye,
walk straight ahead, and don't look back.
For He who hears the faithful cry
supplies the strength that others lack.
This piece captures the profound truth that when we walk in obedience, our peace becomes a mirror that the world often reacts against—not because of who we are, but because of the Christ living inside us.
