Beyond all words

From the Boundless Life collection

By Published On: February 26, 20150 Comments on Beyond all words

Beyond all words that we can form,

Beyond all thoughts that we can share,

The message of our touch conveys

A world beyond all hate and fear.

Each partner’s intertwining love

Conveys a depth of tender care.

 

Our flesh provides our spirit’s home,

A holy temple God has blessed,

A sacred book that we can read

As love is nurtured and caressed

For love incarnate clothes with flesh

The human spirit’s nakedness.

 

O God who gives us power to choose,

The power to honour or abuse,

May we each walk the noble path

Avoiding ways desires seduce

Until respect for sexual rights

Shall shape the laws which we produce.

 

When we are tempted to oppress

On grounds of gender, sex, or race,

May we support each person’s right

To choose the partner they embrace

Yet limit family size to meet

The other life-forms need for space.

 

O God your body and your blood

We find throughout your cosmic tent,

A sacrament of thankfulness

Transforming life when all seems spent.

With joy we raise our heartfelt praise

For Heaven found in love’s ascent.

 

Alternative tune: MELITA.
