Standing in my bedroom,
Which happens to have a magnificent ocean view,
I slid the glass doors open and walked onto the balcony,
Where I stood looking upon the ocean,
While a nice gentle cool night breeze
Brushed my skin.
Standing there, Oh Lord, looking upon the ocean
Listening to the waves as they dance upon the waters,
Seeing the soft rays of moonlight smiling upon its surface,
Made my soul forget the cares of the day
Helping me feel the serenity of Thy peace
Oh Lord, my God,
So many times I forget to stop
To enjoy the beautiful things you have created.
To just let you take care
Of the burdens that are weighing me down.
To feel the relief of my distress.
Oh Lord, my God,
How sweet it is
To let go of everything negative
To breathe in the freshness of your peace.
When I finally put my trusts in Thee,
I let your spirit gently minister to mine.
Standing there on the balcony,
Anointed with your love and peace,
I raised my hands and shouted to Thee
With cries of joy how awesome you are
I opened the eyes of my soul
To behold you clothed in splendor and majesty.
I just stand still
Knowing in my heart that you are God.
