- Come join with me to sing the song
That dwells deep in our heart,
Sometimes it’s hidden or suppressed
But sung will not depart.
When all can sing they grow to share
The joys within their hearts.
When all rejoice the terrors fade
And herald brave new starts.
- If you can’t voice your inner song
Come join and sing with me
For sharing singing can release
The pow’r that sets us free.
The deepest song that nurtures hearts
Is wonder and surprise
At all the hidden depths of love
Beneath Earth’s pains and cries.
- So let us lay aside our pain,
Our worries and distress
And let our heads be now embraced
With love our hearts express.
We then will join Earth’s family
Of thoughtful healing folk,
The ones who dream and aren’t dismayed
But filled with joyful hope.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
William (Bill) Livingstone Wallace is a retired New Zealand Methodist Minister and one of our most prolific contributors. Bill says that his work springs from communicating with the fire in his gut and his observation of both the internal and external aspects of the Cosmos. Since an early age, he has been both sympathetic to and critical of the church, announcing at the age of 13 his belief in evolution. In his youth, he struggled with the disconnection between art and spirituality in his own and other denominations and with the way in which all of the liturgies prior to the sermon were regarded as preliminaries and longer sermons were viewed as superior to more concise ones.
He holds a B.A. in philosophy and a Dip. Ed. and is the author of nine published collections of his hymns as well as other resources on our website. His aim is to help people be empowered by the divine within them and the Cosmos and to work to overthrow the forces of personal and institutional greed which destroy both the ecosystem and human society.
