Here in the stillness we come face to face
With life giving presence, and unfolding grace.
Refreshment of spirit, renewal of mind,
These are the gifts we are destined to find.

Gathered together in this sacred space,
Each one reflecting the nature of grace.
Bound to each other through all we hold dear,
And nurtured by love in which all have a share.

Here we are strengthened to carry our load,
Sharing our lives as we travel our road.
Spirit to spirit, we join heart and hand,
In loving communion, together we stand.

Standing together to carry the light,
To those in our world who for justice must fight.
To those in the darkness of hatred and fear,
May we share the light and the love we hold dear.
