A Lake of Joy

Why wander far and near to seek?
He dwells within thy heart;
Yes, turn within and find Him there,
He longs to see you start.

But clean your heart before you seek,
And offer it to Him,
A holy shrine in which to stay,
A Lake of joy to swim.

Just keep in mind the noble words,
Why fear when I am near,
Keep serving Him in all you do,
For He is everywhere.

The Baba’s grace is ever there,
You’ve just to feel it, friends,
He’s everywhere, at every time;
He, time and space, transcends.
