CLOSE TO THE SPIRIT
Have you ever for eight days glorious been on a celestial plain?
Felt the love of the dear Saviour and the spirit again and again,
Met people who were just strangers but are now all as one?
Eight days of being spiritually fed by God’s beloved Son.
We shared many sacred moments, cried with joy and love,
Felt the closeness of heaven, felt the angels from above,
Learn of many things, that taught us the spirit to gain,
We felt each others joy and shared each other’s pain.
No words can be written of the feelings of each heart,
No song could be sung telling of love as we did part.
The wisdom and the knowledge and the growth we felt
As we all learned together, then as we quietly knelt
In secret prayer at the end of each wonderful sweet day,
The Lord enlightened each heart in His own special way.
We may all never meet again as we live on earth,
But true friends that bond as one are of eternal worth,
Eight days of loving on a spiritual and higher plain
Has made me more determined His glory to obtain.
