I looked at the sea one night  
How sweet to hear the waves  
Rushing to the shore
I feel the gentle breeze  
Whistling through the night  
For once all my troubles
Seems to fade away...

A certain peace came to my heart
That will always remain that night  
In the cool of the night  
I thank God for His wonderful presence..
Something that touches my heart
For so long.....  

It's been a long time 
Since I hear the music of the waves 
It's been a long time 
Since I face the deep blue sea 
Here am I once again 
Face-to-face... 

Walking along the white sandy beach 
Wishing every moment would last forever... 
Knowing no matter how long I'm here 
Someday I have to leave you 
And carry on with life's reality 
But deep down within my heart 
I know I'll return one day 
No matter how long it takes..

I may not be with you always 
But memories of you will remain forever 
First sight of you led my heart melt away 
What beautiful scene before my very eyes... 
It was love at first sight to me... 
Finding a shelter over my head 
I watched the sun-bidding goodnight 
Though my heart sank with it 
Still the calm assurance of its return, 
Wait! Tomorrow will be bright again... 

When the clouds covers the sun, 
I feel so alone; 
In moments like these Lord, 
Do not forsake me... 
For I'm like a small boat, 
Floating on the endless ocean... 
The waters and the wind are too strong for me... 

(Personalized Psalms 63:1; KJV)

"O God, thou art my God; [at night] will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;"

Grace and peace,
