Somewhere

i stand silently before the father

waiting for him to rescue me.

for salvation comes from him alone.

yes he alone is my rock

my rescuer

my defense and fortress.

why then should i be tense with fear

when trouble comes

 

    psalm 62..verses 1 and 2

 

somewhere over there

is a place where souls are free

glory shines from within

and the  earth rises to face

the  mourning son

where hearts in turmiol

are quieted from trouble and pain

renewed with the promise

of hope and cheer

 

brother

somewhere  over there

is a hill upon which you can 

touch the face of heaven

as she silently cries

in the morning mist

she cries tears of happiness

yes she does

for on that vast and untouched plain

with the love of god nothing

can compare

 

my sister

beautiful  sister

somewhere over there

is a filed of grain

that whistles in the wind

and the taunts of enemies

cant hurt your tender heart

where life passes swiftly

yet every memory is so very clear

as we meditate upon the gift of love

god prepared  

for you and me

 

somewhere over there

young lions roar in the evening dusk

yet are still dependent upon the wisdom

of the faithful father

where hands are open wide

ready to receive bountiful  provisions

and when all are  full

there is plenty left to spare

for our hungry brothers and sisters

 

somewhere over there

praises  are being sung  in tribute

to the spirit of mankind

where the blood stone  of a mans sacrifice

becomes the capstone for  a mighty arch

and we dont have to compromise 

our dignity 

to climb heavens  stairs

 

somehwere

in the name of the beneficent  and merciful

somewhere over there

good men are are applauded

in their quest for righteousness

and evil men finally

must bear the burdens of their sins

where  when world conflict arises

no nation is victorious

until they turn the weapons of warfare

into ploughshares

 

yes indeed

somewhere

i do believe

somehwere over there

we have a view of a magestic ocean

upon the shore people meditate

to eradicate the hate that lies within

the demons deceptions

where the sons of 

abraham

the prophet muhammad and jesus the christ

finally decleare

to live as one

 

somewhere  over there

determination to be wise 

is the first step towards wisdom

where the hissing of summer lawns

creates a haze that dims 

the afternoon  suns glare

and you and i prepare

to live as one

to love as one

to die as one

and to be reborn as one

 

i do believe it is 

somewhere

somewhere over there
