As flesh reveals a path to sacredness,

As body, mind and spirit merge as one,

As life is lived with interweaving links,

We dance the rhythmic pulse of Moon and Sun.

When body is our friend and not our foe,

When sex unfolds a world of rev’rent joy,

When senses act as agents of the heart,

We reconnect with childhood’s girl and boy.

The wholeness of this path of sacred touch

Involves imagination’s bonding fire,

The flames that melt our isolating walls

Till love becomes our consummate desire.

O God, the body of the universe,

The Spirit that enlivens matter’s ways,

The intellect that helps us walk the Path,

To you we raise our fleshly psalm of praise.

Alternative Tune: CHILTON FOLIAT.
