Celebrate Our Life Together

 

Micah 6:8; Matthew 23:37; Luke 4:18-19; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

 

Celebrate our life together, giving birth in many ways;

Father-Mother Love is with us, leading to a better day.

Equal partners ‘round the table, family groups of every kind

show us how to nurture kindness, new creation’s joy to find.

 

Mother Christ is calling forward, longing for a peaceful day,

teaching us to free the captives, showing us the healing way.

We will open doors of welcome, bringing Good News unto all,

joining hands to work as prophets, breaking down oppression’s wall.

 

Sister-Brother Spirit gives us guidance for community,

helping us to grow together, finding all we’re meant to be.

Varied gifts, received and valued, join to bring new life to birth,

streams of beauty, peace, and justice flowing freely through the earth.
