The voice whispers, courage –
Another, no, it is too dark!
The voice whispers, one-step –
Weary bones ache, too far.
The voice whispers, love
A cynic mocks the whisper.
The voice whispers, reach out
Arms grow heavy, safe and by the side.
The voice whispers, light –
Darkness gathers fear.
The voice whispers, hope –
The pilgrim nods – Yes!
Listen to Your whisper,
Trust your heart to its longing
You do not walk alone!
The Risen One walks with you!
He lives
Love lives
Forgiveness conquers hatred
Generosity conquers greed
Peace outlives war
Love conquers darkness
and there is hope, always hope –
born in the humble heart.
He lives
Love lives
And we, in our ordinariness,
in our simple faith and simple trust
Become Love’s eyes, love’s ears,
Love’s hands and feet
Love’s heart for a beautiful
yet broken world.
Yes, love lives!
