Stillness of Life    June 13, 1987

 

As I walk so quietly

So still is the land

As the water slowly flows

I feel led by your mighty hand

 

Just as a dove loves to fly

Just as the sun likes to shine

I love to be by your side

Feeling your love so divine

 

There is a quiet place

So delicate to see

Just to be there

Is such a plea

 

The love that surrounds me

The feeling of God

The essence of the flowers

Are the paths I wish to trod

 

There is no anger

Not a careless word

Just the whispers of the wind

And the sweet songs of a bird

 

There is a rushing water fall

Speaking with might

As it falls to the rocks

There is such a delight

 

Two running deer

So gentle and calm

They run up to me

I hold them in my arms

 

In such a quiet place

I wish that I could be

In such a place

That I could see
