Sacred  - the will to live (Vol 2 No 13)

Sacred – the will to live

With grace and joy to give

From our humanity, from its rich wonder;

Deep from within our soul

Let love and hope unroll

To cover all we meet with peace and honour. 

Sacred – the will to love;

To hover like a dove

And bring kind messages that smile with meekness;

From deep within our heart

May we, with grace, impart

True sympathy in times of fragile weakness. 

Sacred – the will to strive;

To celebrate, revive

When smothered by our pain and fear and grieving;

To life itself we bond,

And deep within respond

With gentle strength, the spirit’s quiet relieving. 

Sacred – the will to be;

To live abundantly

And keenly drink of life’s enchanting fragrance.

Holiness is within;

With joy we can begin

Each day with expectation and with rev’rence.
