Analysis of Transcendence



Come try me if you dare
in spirit, Jesus said

While i calmly awakening
to breezes, lightly flowing by

So softly as the rains begin to fall

Gently stirring memories
of loving tenderness

In a calling felt within my soul
One moonlit night at sea

Dreamily to rise into consciousness,
To melt gently into the universe.

In spirit to merge with all good people
Along the road of life,

Sail across the desert
of our aimless wanderings

To find unity,
together

Alone, now …
i am contemplating

The light of the candle flame burning low,
As it casts a warming glow.

There’s such feeling in the night air
Absorbing all my cares

remembrance,
In the spirit of his word to rest within

Fulfilling so easily
a softly spoken spirit of love

A sense of calm,

proving to me the fact
There’s an untapped source remaining

No use in
my complaining

I’m not concerned
that it’s raining anymore…

Lord, hear our prayers if you dare…

As a mirror Jesus has come to show with a light
Which moves souls from a world,

as this one…
Far beyond control

His love the perfect measure
To love in joyous harmony,

Humbly fulfilled at heart
In spirit patient, kind, enduring,

Understanding …in peace…
Free, from the toils and suffering

Free again, from sin

Given up, the weakening pleasures…
Free, from bondage of doubt,

Free… to make the turnabout
if you dare To let the feelings out

Come into the light world,

Listen with your heart

We shall meet the caravan

Join me, On the journey to the promised land

There’s a light burning
In the window to my heart

For you to share,

Jesus saying
try me,

If you dare
