LET BEAUTY NOW BE
some mornings we wake up on empty
to a day that's got nothing but need.
so we reach for a cup of strong coffee,
or maybe a Good Book to read.
the words in the gospels are golden,
but they come from so high and so far,
that sometimes it's true the best thing to do,
is pick up a good old guitar.
let the beauty we love come and fill us.
let the beauty all around get us through
let the beauty inside be our compass,
let beauty now be what we do, what we do.
cause all hearts do long for a beauty,
a secret that's hid everywhere,
and a soft sweet old tune can remind us it shares
in the midst of the deepest despair.
There are hundreds of ways joy can find us,
like the hundreds of ways children can play.
there's hundreds of ways to kneel down on the ground,
hundreds of ways we can pray.
let the beauty we love come and fill us.
let the beauty all around get us through.
let the beauty inside be our compass.
let beauty now be what we do, what we do.
Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life on whose behalf we can act. We belong to this world. |
