Let your hopes be my hopes.
Let your ways be my ways.
Let your path be my path.
May I walk with you always.
Let your Light be my Light.
Let your rays be my rays.
Let your will be my will.
May I walk with you always.
Let your joys be my joys.
Let your days be my days.
Let your heart be my heart.
May I walk with you always.

I meet with God daily,
And He speaks with me;
And I sit and listen,
In His realm of eternity.
In His tongue He teaches,
And my soul, it reaches;
Through the firmament,
His Light beseeches.
He calls me His child,
And we lie reconciled,
From the darks’ distortions,
Which oft’ kept me exiled.
He breathes into me,
His Light, heavenly,
And I rest breathlessly,
In momentary ecstasy.
Yes, daily we meet,
At dawn, noon, and dusk greet;
And I kneel gently,
In veneration at His feet.
For nothing can compare,
To His golden, piercing stare,
Which reignites the soul,
For in its Light, He’s always there.
I meet with God daily,
Far from this worlds harms,
Where hope and love is found,
In His embracing arms.

Let me offer some hard-learned advice,
About struggle and sacrifice.
No matter how strong you are,
One day you will think twice,
And denounce every scar.
“Life is not worth living anymore”,
You will say…but you must endure!
For those few precious moments…
Of joyfulness…so pure.
Life’s in the experience,
So fight on with great valor!

The closest to heaven I’ve ever been,
Was in your arms, and in your view.
On Earth there is no place better than where,…
Love finds you.
The sky can not compare, nor sun or moon,
Nor the flowers of summer days,
To that spark of heaven endowed within.
For love is divine praise.

I long for the fields of A’aru.
The sun-soaked reeds of gold
The ageless mirth of eternity,
Where there’s no young or old.
Where the hallowed sun forever shines,
Its light everlasting.
I run toward distant outstretched arms,
As my soul brightly sings,
And my whole being rejoices and cries:
“Where you go. I will come.
I am home. I am finally home,
In the arms of Atum”.
