The Lord Jesus saith trust in God...trust in Me...

Upon a maiden hill I went
was where as patron for silence I often spent
Upon this golden patch of sun
where her light had generously touched
was the fields who had lain her trust (upon the sun)
for she allowed her children to run and play
across the field they ran helter-skelter

O dainty hill whose place boasts
plenty of flowers, multitude of hosts
who have claimed their place and bore their descendants as numerous as the stars that come out at night...
in this herbal menagerie
was a place where I oft come to pay my patronage

O silent solitary place
whose monastery provokes my soul to contemplate of God's awesome might
He tainted the dark with translucent light
the bulb which hung from a familiar post
had made the roses below to smell of toast
perhaps the grass more like pork or chicken roast
but still they were pleasant to the mortal nose
to smell the fragrant flowers lay
to praise God almighty for each day is made
from His good hands, from His good store
His blessings upon all who tread this mortal realm

O bless the mess, this coloured stew
where winds whispers psalm and songs which brew
across the fields, across the land
praising God as does the hearts of every man
O bless the garden where the silence stays
that contemplation may lead me on my way

of course then my soul her spirit find
monastery and convent in this confine
the spirit finds her counsel here with You O God divine
Whose throne above reigns forever more...

O Jesus God...my guardian soul's keep
I've gone too far and in too deep
if You cast Your hands right out to me...
cast them out till I grab hold of You...
I am a sheep, but like a goat...proud as proud can be
sinning so persistently...

You gaze upon me so mercifully
and took my hand and said to me...
"I forgive you, now, please come with Me...
walk some more, and walk with Me...
there's much to work on, much to improve
but if you trust Me, mountains upon mountains will move...
listen to Me, I love you, beloved, child of Mine,
rest easy, rest on Me, and find console in Me....
the plans I have for you is good,
so walk with Me...and try again...
if you should wander far, far astray,
I may strike My rod and lead you back again...
but all because I love you, dear...
I want to bring you home one day
that your tears and sorrow will all fade away
trust in Me, you silly girl...
I love you more than anything in the world...
trust in Me...I love you, dear....
do you, My beloved, trust in Me?"

So said the Lord now I promise to follow He
who has saved me from sin on Calvary
He has redeemed my soul and my sins are cleansed
whenever I come to Him to confess them all..
He makes me clean and wipes my sins away...

The fields are robust with roses and bloom
of things which give way to pleasure of the eyes...to view
the world is vast...my soul shrinks away
but He looks at me and cocks His head, to tell me to hold His hand...
He leads the way....

so find solace in the Lord every day
He leads us where the fields are forever rich
with bounties of such no one has ever seen
and gives us more than we could ever receive
much more than we deserve
but in His love, because He loves us...He gives so much to us...
find solace in Jesus, He is our rest....

Find solace in Him...and allow Him to lead the way....
