I'd like to share an inspiration that I came across this morning. It's a beautiful spiritual sung to the tune of Tallis's Canon C.1510-1583. The text was written by Ruth Duck in 1947 who is a professor of worship amongst all other things.
It is a strong beckoning for peace in a world who needs to tune in (no pun intended) before we are all lost. It leads us to reach out to others and urges us to realize that God has allowed His holy angels upon the earth to help us connect with one another. We can each do our small part to make this a better place, a more peaceful and joyful place to live.
Call your angel by your side as you read this and ask them to show you how to be that "bridge of care - connecting people everywhere"! There are angels all around us always! Here it is...Take your time and enjoy!
DIVERSE IN CULTURE, NATION, RACE
Diverse in culture, nation, race
We come together by Your grace.
God let us be a meeting ground,
where hope and healing love are found.
God let us be a bridge of care,
connecting people everywhere.
Help us confront all fear and hate
and lust for power that separate.
When chasims widen, storms arise, Oh
Holy Spirit make us wise.
Let our resolve like steel be strong, to
stand with those who suffer wrong.
God, let us be a table spread, with gifts of love
and broken bread. Where all find welcome,
grace attends, and enemies arise as friends...
"Be the light in the dark place...Affect them, don't let them infect you!"
