WHERE THE PEACEFUL LILIES GROW

...Often here I find Him
The One Who knows my soul
He comes here to escape those
Who want a sign or wonder shown
A man unlike His kinsmen
This "Prophet of Renown"
He's the door to the life
Where joy and peace abound
He's kind to all who seek truth
Who look for God on high
But He always offends those
Full of vanity and pride
He heals the sick
-The dead are raised!
Yet, some still question why:
"From whence cometh His authority?
To say He is, - "The Christ!"
But, I know He's Who He claims to be
For I've watched Him now so long
His word is truth
For the crop has shown
What kind of seeds were sown
His power comes from God above
And confirms the things He speaks
As He invites all
Both great and small
- This "Living Water" drink
As I watch Him through the hedges
I know, - He knows, - I'm here
But He continues with His praying
And takes away my fear
This "Man," - so kind and gentle
This "Christ," - I've come to know
As I've listened to His praying
- Where the peaceful lilies grow
