The Mystery of Life

In mystery he is cloaked,

that the world may not grow dim;

that life may not become vain,

and that we may ever seek HIM!

Through a misty veil he is felt,

by the heart within the soul;

If happily we feel after him,

that our senses may not grow dull.

Speak not with hasty words,

in judgement to condemn;

For truth is relative;

Only God sees the heart within.

With darkened understanding,

our eyes e'er do deceive;

With faith we anchor blindly,

to what we cannot perceive.

Have faith, hope and love,

and bow the head of pride;

For life's cloaked in mystery,

in this be satisfied!
