against Thy majestic asilomar backdrop
pbcc women connect, life scripts crop
letting desperate and chaotic waves crash
unleashing healing from shackled stash

to each, You met at the Cross to pave
the path to laughter, lament no longer slave
from ashes of tragedy, awakening triumph to rise
from peacekeeper, the peacemaker cries

onion peels to laughter peals
Thy divine peace heals and seals
draw from Thy well to handle whatever life deals
a journey well-travelled when body keels

revel in david’s psalm 63 and stuart townsend
the retreat was truly Godsend

in Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
the Cornerstone, this solid Ground
firm through the fiercest drought and storm
