Meeting at Marino Rocks

 I’ve come to meet the sea

I’ve come to find the peace

That only fresh air brings

Where the land meets the sea

The ocean waves are calling me

The sea breeze beckons you see

So I follow along the coastline

Seeking: yes seeking my Lord: yes Thee!

Crashing waves greet me

Cooling water for my wandering feet

I found the perfect lookout

Yes: a high perch: overlooking

The majestic briny deep

A few fishermen are floating

Hoping to get a catch

But I have something better

Yes: I have caught and held firm

I find my Lord is here with me!

Along this rocky coastline

Along this wave-tossed beach

It’s like some alien landscape

Like something out of long lost tales

Volcanic looking rocks abound

Many pebbles litter the ground

Wet and brightened by the foaming sea

Oh dear Lord: I came to find Thee

Yes indeed!

I came to find Thee!

Right here in nature!

Upon this rocky beach!

Far away the yachts are sailing

Tiny sails glinting in the sun

So many people out in nature

Exercising: having fun!

Following the coastline: bouncing along

Out in the bright afternoon sun

A few seagulls flying overhead

Ever searching for some food

Some proffered bread

I sit upon these massive rocks

Searching ever within

Seeking to find my salvation

Seeking to find that inner peace

Yes that inner peace that comes with

Understanding: accepting: loving

The fact that my dearest Lord

Had already saved me

Yes He has paid my price already

His blood has washed me clean

And ever will I stay

Nearer my dearest Lord to Thee!
