This life is beyond prayer,

Beyond ritual,

Beyond faith;

It is more thinking I am a sinner

Than a winner or a saint;

It is trying more than the yesterday

That I forget in the Kingdom today;

It is finding a joy in the moment,

In the wonder is it pray or is it play.

A new day is the recurring mantra;

It is the lesson;

It is the song;

It is the finding that in this life we live

We are loved and we belong

To a greater Will and Wisdom

That is surprise and mystery

Because I would choose to abide in the Father

So that His Spirit would abide in me.
