Unblemished Rose

I looked in former lives towards a shore

I could not cross, rivers I could not ford,

And dreamed of joys never known before

And moments in the presence of the Lord.

Then once, but once ,the holy fire swept

Through body to the reaches of the soul

And riveted by that great force I wept,

As love upon my spirit softly stole.

Awakened in Her splendid atmosphere

All my life that moment would repeat,

She smiled, a golden sun, as I drew near

And lay my restless head upon Her feet.

She guides my being to untold delight,

Her Grace come down into my seeking soul,

Unblemished Rose, God's power to unite,

Her smile I crave, Her beauty I extol,

In word and song, petition Her to save

Earth from the dark Inconscient's dragon might.

You who live in me my life enslave

And all my soul surrender in your Light.
