(based upon a quote from Pope John Paul II)
He issued a call
For holiness true
Let Gods light appear
Flow through me and through you
Do not abandon
Yourself to despair
We are people of Easter
Hallelujah we share
In difficult times
Let this be our song
Binding in Word
Through the One we belong
We are people of joy
One of the light
We’ve nothing to fear
Lords’ love shining bright
Hold fast to our faith
Proclamation to cope
God will not disappoint
Through His promise of hope
Hey Ma, how ya doin’?
Oh, there’s such beauty
Fear not, my beloved
One day you will see
Everything is clear
Now I understand
Revealed in perfection
The glory of His plan
Know that I’ll be with you
Through Spirits guiding light
Trust within our faith
All will be all right
We will be as one
With each prayer you say
Watching over you
And with you every day
In this world of darkness
A light for us to seek
Hope within a Savior
For this human weak
In this world of evil
A home for us to find
Love unconditional
Perfect of divine
In this world of judgment
A place for true safety
Accepted as we are
Know what we can be
In this world of sin
A hope for us to see
Eternal of forgiveness
A share in great mercy
In this world so selfish
You give abundantly
In giving we receive
A treasure here for free
Christmas words surround us
Our rather, holiday
Let them not past by us
Dwell on what they say
Hope of a great message
Joy can truly be
Peace upon this world
Let them arise in me
A Saviour born to us
Truth now to realize
Eternal offered to us
This is our great prize
When upon their viewing
Let us turn to prayer
In the truth of knowing
God is with us here
One moment away
From last breath of breathing
One step of unknown
Our judgment receiving
One event away
From losing our wealth
One heartbeat away
From losing our health
One decision away
From freedom to lose
One thought away
Our mind to confuse
World calls to us
To dwell in our fear
One prayer away
From Your security here
There’s no death of fearing
A truth that I now know
For all that was conquered
By our Lord, long ago
I’m still with you, caring
Though in another room
As you still knew my love
When formed within my womb
My prayer’s that you will follow
Drawn by our father’s love
Dwelling for eternal
As we do here above
I’ll be here awaiting
My arms open wide
In perfect love eternal
Forever we’ll reside
Would you remember me?
In glimpse of sparkling light
On a crest of wave
Flowing with delight
Or flash of memory
In joy of conversation
Moment that we shared
Our own celebration
Tears be one of joy
For in it we do share
This moment’s connection
Beyond all time or years
In binding of our souls
Love engrained so deep
Even past this life
Forever we will keep
One day reunited
As this day here we be
In loves perfect light
Shared eternally
Look not behind you
Ahead do not fear
All that does matters
Is that we are here
Attune to light shining
In Spirits embrace
Shedding guilt’s worry
Showered in grace
Fall into drifting
Free in above
Know my desire
Consumed in my love
Fear not my child
Of heaven aware
Be of my joy
With good news to share
Fear of all we humans
Of death cannot deny
One we all will face
No matter how we try
God sent His beloved
To send a message true
That death has been defeated
A gift for me and You
Choice that has been offered
Word to be perceived
Free for us to make
Will we now believe?
Christ fulfilled His passion
Suffered in my stead
Let my soul declare
He has risen from the dead!
