A Place To Rest

I rest my eyes
on the surface
of this beautiful sea,
I rest my soul
in these limpid waters
of this beautiful shore.
I rest my spirit
amongst the corals
and the sea horse.

In my heart I travel
in the garments of a monk,
in the heart of the monk
there is a young man
traveling
naked
amidst tempests and scorching heat,
in his heart there's a child
playing
laughing
running
echoing his joy,
in this child's heart
there is God
dwelling
in silent peace
moving in ways
mysterious to us all,
in his heart
he holds
the world.



If I could only wait for you
By Hyun Joo Lee
(minister, artist, dancer)

If I could only wait for you
If I could only live waiting for you
I will be content even if you do not come

To wait is to hope
To wait is to persevere
To wait is to trust till the end
From the moment I was born, I have been waiting for you
Through the passing years I will long for you till the
moment I die

Oh,
If I could only wait for you
If I could only die waiting for you
I will be content even if you would never come.
