Seek Within Thy Own Merciful Soul's Light

Seek Within Thy Own Merciful Soul's Light Found this huge box from a far away place, Inside many strange and magical things, Chiseled in stone, words to Amazing Grace Music blaring forth, what Love of Life brings- Deeper down, echoes of historic lights; Great symphonies from our enlightened past, Bright moons illuminating darkest nights- As great shining stars whizzed on by so fast: Joyous cries found my eager willing ears: " Seek within thy own merciful soul's Light" Abandoning grave doubts and shallow fears, Ignore sneering whispered taunts in the night; All happiness rests in Hope, Truth and Love Leave this box, instead look for God above.
