In Church of the dwelling
An insight to gaze
The light of reflection
In so many ways
Through the stained glass
On bright and gray days
A humble gift shared
On altar it lays
Of gold tabernacle
On candlesticks, blaze
Of instruments, holy
Of crucifix praise
To stir deep our prayer
Your insight, amaze
The reflection of soul
Of Your light, always
From a night of darkness
Of blustery chill
Sky of snow falling
We awake to morn’, still
We blink once or twice
Rechecking our eyes
A miracle blessed
Of wonders surprise
A pasture of snow
Icicles formed
With a coating of ice
Each tree is adorned
Sun of arising
The scene to ignite
The world set ablaze
With the blessing of light
Every branch glows
Each blade of grass shines
Diamonds of brilliance
Proclaim joy divine
Oh. God of unseen
So grateful to be
The windows of light
That You bless to me
One of our treasure
That we hold dear
Our binding together
Through the gift of prayer
In wonder of nature
The souls’ blessed to see
From flower to sky
Infinite beauty
The souls of our way
Unique colors to shine
Your facets of love
Of touching divine
In joys of the soul
All the day through
In blessings discovered
My light surrounds you
In time of our prayer
Of binding pursue
Love of receiving
My light grows in you
In disappointments
Heart feeling blue
Let Me bear your cross
My light comforts you
In sunrise and sunsets
Of colors anew
In beauty abundant
My light blesses you
In serving the needy
Loving acts to do
We rejoice together
My light shines through you
A moment of morning
Of wonder to see
When the sun shines uphill
Seems to captivate me
So simple the message
This view here displays
In challenge ahead
Let my light lead the way
To pack the essentials
For journey this day
Preparing the soul
In time here to pray
A compass of Spirit
Soul be aware
Love, peace and grace
Gifts to be shared
What is in the light?
That the soul only knows
Through the lens of Spirit
Of blessed gift bestowed
What the lights’ language?
Of inner voice to me
Deep in love of knowing
Word of intimacy
What is of the light?
Fulfills our deepest needing
Basking of within
Spiritual of feeding
Who is of the light?
One of grateful prayer
In receiving and of giving
Your precious love to share
A gift of outpouring
Of dawning’s beauty
Streaming pure light
Come wash over me
Air fresh and clean
Of sweet purity
One of the drawing
Come dwell in me
Presence is here
Of Spirit to be
Love of the binding
Come pray in me
A blessing of knowing
Of wisdom to see
A being of greater
Come let go of me
Found in every dawning
One to let us see
Past the dark of night
The light will come to be
When the outlooks gloomy
No answer can we see
A glimpse beyond the clouds
The light will come to be
With offering of prayer
Our hope in You to see
The dwelling of Your Presence
The light will come to be
A calling to us all
So hopeless now can see
Let us proclaim with joy
The light will come to be
When our day has come
The truth our soul we’ll see
The One beyond this world
The Light will come to be
Found in every dawning
With colors blessed anew
Offer of the calling
My light is seeking you
When the dark is falling
Stars come into view
Fear not my beloved
My light shines over you
Known within our praying
The Spirit shining through
Lamp to feet of guiding
My light is leading you
Deep within of dwelling
Message of the true
The flame of ever glowing
My light is loving you
Offer of accepting
My will, Your light pursue
Joy in the reflection
To shine the light of You
Blessed be the holy light
A gifting of divine
A grace filled tender touch
Rejoicing petals shine
Gratefulness arising
A sacred movement be
Imperceptible
Of turning unto Thee
Roots of dwelling deep
The need of deepest yearning
Giving fullly to the light
A move of sacred turning
How glorious the gifting
To bask within the glow
One within the being
Of Your love to grow
May I be so humble
To let the flower be
My Spiritual director
Here now guiding me
