VALE OF TEARS

Daily life's a swiftly flowing stream of re-born Souls
Each are playing a role on this sad Ship of Dreams,
As preordained by God Almighty for their growth
To Enlightenment and Liberation so it seems.

Myriad are the changing scenes in time and space
As souls are reborn after a deep sleep of rest.
Comes the day when tired of suffering in this place,
There's a call to awaken from that vale of tears.

Then the Mighty Lord through Grace sends His Teaching
Which tells us how to awaken from our fears.
The golden keys are Surrender and Devotion,
To safely cross life's tempestuous ocean.

The mighty Grace of the Sage is forever there
To help and free us from darkness and despair.
