Butir-butir pasir,
di pesisir
tampak tiada apanya
nun jauh di dasar samudera,
alangkah ajaib
dikandung cangkerang
menjadi mutiara.
Kerdil tak kasat mata
pada mula
diam-diam
jadi luar biasa
anugerah-Nya.

Cinta.
Butir-butir pasir,
di pesisir
tampak tiada apanya
nun jauh di dasar samudera,
alangkah ajaib
dikandung cangkerang
menjadi mutiara.
Kerdil tak kasat mata
pada mula
diam-diam
jadi luar biasa
anugerah-Nya.
When you fall ill you grieve and feel so low,You're then awake to what you need to know,When starting to feel sick your prayers begin,You beg forgiveness for a life of sin,Its ugliness the Lord to you displaysSo you'll resolve to follow righteous ways:You swear to God that you'll at last take heed,And make your every act a pious deed,That being sick can heal you thus make sense,It wakes you with increased intelligence!So heed this principle and never doubt,Whoever's suffering pain has worked this out:The more awake they are the worse their plight,Their suffering turns their tortured faces white!
