Hello everyone, welcome to AfriTunes week 68. Today I'm excited to share with you all a song by Victoria Orenze titled Shalom. The song speaks of God as a source of peace.

Life is crazy at the moment. People are dying here and there, strange things are happening. Students are missing, some dying as well. Today, a friend told me about a final year course mate of his that just died. The lady is said to have gone for a tour with fellow students and they were in a boat and it turned over. The students were rescued but they realized that some people were missing and by the time they got back to save them, they had died.

It shook me. The story of the submarine too. School stress, denands, personal needs. A lot can make us lose our peace but somehow I'm still alive, still sane, still moving on, tired but not giving up. I can only boast of these because Jehovah is shalom, my peace!

Personally I'm so hot tempered. I'm easily triggered by certain things so each time that rage comes up upon me I just remember the word "shalom". I sing this song repeatedly whenever I'm down and it really works.

I hope you key into this song and I pray your testimony of peace will come, Amen.

Shalom - Victoria Orenze

Through the Fire
Through the Raging Storm
I will not Lose my PEACE
Through the Valley
Through the Sweeping Floods
I will Hold to my PEACE

[Pre – Chorus]
Nothing Broken
Nothing Missing
You have it in Control
Nothing Broken
Nothing Missing
You have it in Control

[Chorus]
SHALOM, SHALOM
Jehovah my PEACE
SHALOM, SHALOM
Jehovah my PEACE

[Repeat Verse]
Through the Fire
Through the Raging Storm
I will not Loose my PEACE
Through the Valley
Through the Sweeping Floods
I will Hold to my PEACE

Through the Fire
Through the Raging Storm
I will not Loose my PEACE
Through the Valley
Through the Sweeping Floods
I will Hold to my PEACE

[Pre – Chorus]
Nothing Broken
Nothing Missing
You have it in Control
Nothing Broken
Nothing Missing
You have it in Control

Shalom, Shalom
Jehovah, my peace.
Shalom, Shalom
Jehovah, my peace.
