I yearned to know Your peace
Your parting gift - divine
I sought it by the tranquil lake
in prayerful solitude
I sought it in the timeless silence
of the mountain peak
But now I know that this
continuous quest of mine
lies not out there. It is within myself
I hear you speak
For I have found this precious pearl
through many frictions formed.
Deep-anchored in your love it lies -
a jewel, lustrous, rare /
And nothing that in future I must face -
no sorrow, loss, no pain, nor fear -
no disappointment nor ingratitude -
Experiences from which I can't escape -
can take away this treasure I possess
These are but ripples on the surface of my life -
for You are here.
