Carry Us Home

Descend oh dove of love

and fill our hearts,

alight oh bird of flight

and give us wings

to soar,

to explore

the depths of vision,

the reaches of expansion.

Give us light,

give us might,

times are hard, 

burdens are heavy,

lift us up oh celestial messengers,

bring us strength,

bring us courage,

carry us gently

to the shores of renewal,

carry us home

to the lands of solace.

This is so true in that we need a greater vision of the depths of love one for another
