Dear Spirits and Dear God
All Angels and All Saints ~
Tame our hardened hearts
Of life, and please
Remove our stress.
Let our souls be free
From everyday world wide worries ~
From panic and from grief,
May we find shelter and relief.
Give us hope on this day
That pain and joy will find a way ~
To coexist and comprehend
Our limitations, this I pray ~
Hold them together in a place
Of mutual respect, fully.
May we all gather at thy feet
With love and light and softened hearts
May the answers to our prayers
Be in the breezes you impart
May we find everything we need
To make it through each day with you
Help us to understand our lessons
Everyday that we go through
Open our hearts, open our minds
To better ways that we can be
And when we take a step backwards
Show us how we can always see
The path to your forgiveness
The songs that we can sing
The path to our true soul
And all the love it brings
And so it is.
