Where the love of God is guiding,

there is now another way:

new awareness of compassion

learned from one another:

love, the face of God in Jesus,

new creation’s thrust,

love, transforming fears and terror

into health and trust.

Where the truth of God is driving,

there is now another way,

shining through our times’ confusion,

sharp with revelation:

words that stifle sense or spirit

changed and redefined,

crosses raised to teach division

lowered, left behind.

Where the life on earth is cherished,

there is now another way,

where a child may grow in safety,

where there’s peace and shelter.

When we hold the fragile planet

in our conscious care,

when we see again as sacred

all we are and share.

God will lead us on a mission,

God, the flightpath and the power,

lifting all who grasp the vision

into understanding:

so the heart and hope within us

set each other free,

where the love of God is guiding,

this shall come to be.
