Aphradere: God's Our Emerald Compass
Our hearts of love is but a fire and ice I can’t suffice
It’s a kind of love, a type thereof, with a high price
A price, I, unfortunately, cannot completely afford
Not to mention all these sick emotions that I hoard
It’s a choir unprepared, unrehearsed
It’s our secrets, somewhat dispersed
Alas, my darling, I’ve done you wrong
Burn away the remorse from my tongue
I have a couple of awful scars that won’t heal
Our secret verses in song-form are so unreal
Let God act like your kind nurse to restore you to blessed health,
Restoring grace to your life-long verse with wellness and wealth
Delight douses my weary soul all over again, making me happily blind
Midnight's might kept me with no clarity in mind, left me left behind
Shake away the dust from off your shoes of sulky filth and clearly see
You are my daily muse, a muse that will set me free, hoping extremely
It’s truly a tragedy in total reverse
It’s a gem-glowing gift or a curse
Cast away my tears in the ocean
Drown out the constant commotion
Persevere…
Have no fear…
Shed no tear…
I am here…
God is near…
Have so cheer…
I’ll hold you dear…
Hang on to hope's chandelier…
And your boat, I shall steer
Through the waters of Aphradere
Through the waters of Aphradere
Through the waters of Aphradere
Through the waters that draw near
That draw near us, I pray, yet I fear
But, He says fear no evil today and tomorrow
Today will be our tomorrow, no plans of sorrow
As we pass through, hand in hand,
The waters of Aphradere and sand
Our feet buried under, head above
God is looking after us, my love,
And your boat, I shall steer
Hang on to hope's cheer
I’ll hold you dear…
Wear joy's gear
God is near…
I am here…
Shed no tear…
Have no fear…
Persevere…
From beginning to end, my lone dear
God will end your horrid, tragic fear
It’s quite a miracle and a curse that we remain here…
In the waters of Aphredere, waterfalls do appear,
But, with His sacred, glory-engulfed guidance,
He will lead us through the waters of Aphradere
He will drown it all away with His lovely radiance
