THE PEARL - OH THE PEARL
The pearl, the pearl, the
pearl
Oh! The pearl how it fascinates me
Oh! If I could only have that pearl!
The pearl of great price
This desire
kept growing in me
Oh! If only I could have that pearl!
Who will help me get it?
Oh! That pearl of great price
I knelt at the
Lord’s feet
“Lord I really, wish to have that pear”
The
Lord said – “Child go sell all you have and buy it “
All I have?
What is it that I a poor Carmelite has?
Only my pride, jealousy, gossiping,
attachment, my egos,
Oh the list is endless
“These are my possessions, Lord not this
not that and this may be I can give up”
It was
hard it was difficult
But my desire to posses the pearl kept growing
stronger.
‘All for
you Lord all for you everything I have I give to you’
In loving surrender I surrender myself
And Lo – the pearl was mine
Receiving His grace day by day
In Carmel Oh my beloved Carmel.
