My Soul To My Master I Owe
I have lived for eons through time and space
Toiled and traveled through all my days
From the warm golden temple of the sun
To the white granite pavilions of the moon
I have hung among distant blazing stars ...
Still my soul has found no rest
To earth I sailed on light beams iridescent
Explored the blue-green oceans deep
I have climbed snow-covered mountain peaks
And carried by winds over hot, barren desert sands
I have found some relief in oasis green...
Yet, still my soul can find no rest
Through lighting storms and crashing waves
Through riches won and riches lost
I have heard robin sing her song so sweet
Earth’s finest instruments can not compete
Enthralled by the million voices of a children’s choir...
Yet my thirst for rest remains unquenched
I must return from whence I came
Where my soul, this light to my Master, I owe
Though beauty of the universe remains unsung
Still incomparable to my Master’s home
I know this yearning will never cease
‘Til Heaven’s shores my soul will reach
