The beauty within us (Vol 4 No 55)

The beauty within us – the impulse to care

Is God’s image planted, of which we are heir;

For friend and for stranger when need is severe

Our heart gives attention; our help is sincere.

When we heed others’ need

And no matter how small,

When we heed others’ need

We respond to God’s call;

With God deep within us, our spirit is bold;

The Christ is then present; his love we unfold.

The beauty within us that prompts us to prayer

Is God’s image planted, of which we are heir;

The struggle continues with evil abuse;

And sometimes we feel it may be of no use;

We remain; not in vain

To give comfort and hope;

We remain; not in vain

Helping others to cope;

With God deep within us, our spirit is strong;

The Christ is then present to right what is wrong.

The beauty within us when willing to share

Is God’s image planted, of which we are heir;

Our friendship, compassion and all that is true

Will multiply endlessly when they shine through;

We are blessed with the best

Of what God can bestow;

We are blessed with the best

Of much more than we know;

With God deep within us, our spirit can grow;

The Christ will be present when we let love flow.
