Open Air Church By the Ocean

The ocean side church is serene and I am alone
with the Lord and I am praying silently
flickering candles cast shadows
as a tear falls down my face unchecked
I bow my head in grief
O, Lord help me find the strength to live
carry me out the darkness I am in
O, Lord show me the way to you
show me a place heavenly
Lord, I am now ready . . .
suddenly, I am aware of the birds
the doves flying everywhere 
in the open church by the ocean
the many plants are swaying in the breeze
it is so beautiful
in my heart God spoke to me
embrace the beauty of this world
go forth and find your peace
so, I left the church and the birds and walked
the ocean shore and all my pain was gone
