the One who knows me truly

 

The Keeper of my Heart

Those days of searching

Those nights of pain

Those moment of loneliness

Those cries like rain

 

In them I felt you far away

When I needed you the most

I had no words to say

Far expensive was the cost

 

I woke up those nights

Thinking about you

But I could not win the fight

For I did not feel you

 

Neither did my mind obey

Nor did my heart listen to me

All I could do was to pray

And ask you to set me free

 

You broke me down

And in silence I said “Where are you Lord?”

You gave no answer

But I felt what you had to say

 

A new journey I began

A new friend I found

So I read again and again

His book, his confessions of life

 

I heard the words

I felt the same

So clear was the sound

That I could not discount

 

I went back again

To see where it all began

And here I discovered

The open secret I was to find

 

Did I first search for you

Or you searched for me

The question remained till I realized

I could not be lost

 

The is no way 

That man has ever found

To go away from you 

Is something that cannot be done

 

My Lord, My Friend

My Savior, my Redeemer

With you there is no end

For you are with me always

 

The keeper of my heart

The guardian of my soul

The one who nourishes my body

And fills this empty home

 

O Augustine you lead to Him

To your master and mine

To this shepherd of our souls

I pledge today my life
