Finding a place of peace Where strife and torment cease The "I" detached from me Where desire and attachment flee Finding a place of peace Where love and joy increase The Self no longer good or bad Where acceptance is what makes you glad Finding a place of peace Where body and soul release The spirit one with Spirit great Where life and we can all relate To find that place where all is well Where body, spirit, and soul can dwell Free from grasp, from wish and will Where harmony and satisfaction find their fill Christ is our model for finding this place Of living for God and receiving the grace To die to self, the lust and the craving To accept life's terms and embrace Him saving Who would have thought this self of God's creation Would be the source of pain, not jubilation That only in dying, the self would find A love of life of a different kind Yet the self not wishing to die Kicks and bites will wail and cry And only then will give up the fight And surrender to God and attain its sight And so find a place of peace.....where all is right |
