God Suffices (Prayer Of St. Teresa)*

let nothing afright thee
no thoughts disturb thee
all things are passing
God never moves

patient endurance
attaineth all things
him who has God in nothing is lacking
Alone, Alone
God suffices

let nothing afright thee
no wants distract thee
all things are passing
Love never dies

patient endurance
attaineth all things
she who has God in nothing is lacking
Alone, Alone
God suffices


*This song is based on a prayer found written in Latin
on the wall of the cell of St. Teresa of Avilia upon her death in 1582.
