In silence now we join to pray
Listening to the God within.
May rich discernment shape our prayers
As we learn from cosmic laws.
As love’s compassion grows within
We shall heed the peoples’ cries.
With all the poor we join to pray
May Earth’s wealth be shared by all.
Empowered by justice, filled with hope
We shall join with Earth’s oppressed.
Aware how humans wound this Earth
We resolve to save its life.
In meeting pilgrims’ varied ways
We find truth takes many forms.
When faced with life’s diversity
We view mystery as but one.
Through praying we transform our mind
Till all life becomes a prayer.
Note: the verses may be sung unaccompanied
Alternative for verse 1 response: “ Listening to our Inner Voice” or “Guided by the Light Within.”
