To a Friend of Mine

To a friend of mine
With shiny eyes
I said, "Where could I find this love you have?"
This bright, inviting glow
He put his arms around my waist
His manner always kind
He said, "I cannot tell you, friend; it's like showing to the blind"
"But I know a place I know, a special place for me
For it is the place where I found this love; I call it my Galilee"

He led me down a dusty road
He said, "Go and look what you're searching for"
The road led me to a quiet place
That vision I can still see

The sun was shining, warm and soft
Could this be my Galilee?
I saw the sparkles from the dewdrops
But there was no change in me
Something was warm upon my face
Could this be Galilee?
Then I felt something warm in my heart
It made me feel very much calm
You know, it was just like a river, but the rest...
And then I heard a gentle voice
Softly spoke to me
You can hear it all around
A sound like whispers in the pine
A sound like whispers in the pine

The sparkle in the dewdrops
The shine in your friend's eye
The glow upon his face you see
Is a sign up in the sky
And the love that's in his heart
Is a gift from my father's hand
And this is how I live my life
In the son of God and man

And let me take you down this dusty road
Where my friend and I were down
And I pray for you, that you will find
That you'd find your Galilee
And that your soul would be at ease
And that your soul would be at ease
