When the gales of life 
Beat against the rocks 
And causes an erosion 
Upon fertile foundations of soil. 
When surrounding problems 
Are stronger than a breeze. 
From the love for eternal life 
Comes total stillness 
To calm the mighty forces of nature. 
Footsteps are heard 
From within the clouds 
To give the justifiyng assurance 
Of no labour is in vain 
And repetiously replenishes  
To your soul and mine 
The reverberate conformity. 
To be faithful and prayerful 
And to stand still old soldier.
