The Master’s Love for Me – Words and Music by Dr. Minott W. Lewis
How silently and sweetly the Master comes to me
His love and joy enfold me in bliss and ecstasy
My mind is calm and peaceful, all cares are swept away
And in His Omnipresence I know that I am free.
So sweet the sound of OM
‘Tis Master’s voice I hear
In all-pervading silence He whispers: “I am here”
My heart with joy is flowing, it sings eternally:
“There is no other love like the Master’s Love for me”
