Roughly 40 years ago, when I was at Albion College, and one of my majors was Religious Studies, I penned the words which became the lyrics to the music below, Harbor of Truth. As I recall, the words were inspired by some work I was doing in the Book of Isaiah at the time either in Prof. Gillham’s or Prof. Stohl’s class. Unsophisticated and not terribly original lyrics, but I wanted to experiment a bit more with the AI at the Udio.com website and the words were handy.
This time Udio.com was much less cooperative as a co-creator and I kept rejecting its creations, repeatedly. Perhaps my prompts were less clear than on previous ventures, or my vision lacked clarity. But it was as effort to birth even this adequate venture. On the other hand, the audio file reading slightly below the image is worth a listen.

Lyrics for Harbor of Truth
Though I traverse seas of error, I fear not,
For I am ever compassed towards the harbor of truth.
Yea, doth not the very breath of God
Fill-full the sails of my humble craft,
Propelling me ever forward towards the shores of Zion.
Amidst tempests fierce and shadows deep, I sail,
Yet falter not, for stars of hope above
Light my way, and faith shall never fail.
With morning’s dawn, I’ll greet the day with love.
For in God’s hands, my course is ever set,
On Zion’s shores, my soul shall find its rest.
At last, I glimpse the golden shores ahead,
Where Zion’s light doth shine with purest glow.
No longer lost, by faith and truth I’m led,
Into the arms of peace, where rivers flow.
Eternal rest within the sacred land,
Where God’s embrace fulfills what He hath planned.
