Is happiness something that's there to be bought?
Huge mansions, big yachts and fast cars?
By amassing material gain that is used
For our pleasure both near and afar?



Such happiness gained by a secular search
Will exist on a tenuous strand.
Its duration short lived, it is destined to be
Like a house that is built on the sand.



But in seeking a spiritual happiness known
Through God-inspired feelings, we find
A permanent peace that can only be found
In a deific state of the mind.



The sense of true happiness comes from within
When sought in a spiritual vein,
Where feelings are touched by the presence of God,
And completeness of soul is our gain.



The feeling aroused from this presence of God
Is perception men hope to attain.
It's the strength we receive from that comforting Peace
That endures through all suff'ring and pain.
