Ride on a paraglide: A preview from the book of Creative Life: A Contemplative Soul

Ride on a paraglide

Ride on paraglide
Sporty ride on paraglide
Portray the life
That glides on faith
I rise with the wind
Like an eagle
To the heights of the skies
At the little jump of faith
On the moving air
Saying thy right hand will hold me fast

Vast sky infinite above
Peaks of mountains steeps below
On the flowing, air current
I set my gliding descent
I rise with the wind
Like an eagle
To the heights of the skies
At the little jump of faith
On the moving air
Saying thy right hand will hold me fast

Heights of steep cliffs above
Depths of valleys stretch below
Cliffs of hills vision
Sliding silver falls flow
I rise with the wind
Like an eagle
To the heights of the skies
At the little jump of faith
On the moving air
Saying thy right hand will hold me fast

Deep blue sea extends
Dense white clouds embrace
Senses open vigil of magic
Ride above the rushing rapids
I rise with the wind
Like an eagle
To the heights of the skies
At the little jump of faith
On the moving air
Saying thy right hand will hold me fast

Ups and downs
Current flows
Twist and turns glide travel
Looking upon the heaven of hope
Looking down on earth of faith
I rise with the wind
Like an eagle
To the heights of the skies
At the little jump of faith
On the moving air
Saying thy right hand will hold me fast


Flights of birds passing by
Kites of children floating by
Descending glide sliding down
Reveal the towers of tree lines
Above the forest I fly
I rise with the wind
Like an eagle
To the heights of the skies
At the little jump of faith
On the moving air
Saying thy right hand will hold me fast

"History THE PARAVARS OF THE PEARL FISHERY COAST The history of Shrine Basilica is closely connected with the history of the conversion of the PARAVARS (Tuticorin), the indigenous people of the Pearl Fishery Coast.
