FROM PSALM 121
I will lift up my eyes from
this hill—
I
will lift up my eyes to the Islands—
I
will lift up my eyes to the seas and tides—
I
will lift up my eyes to skies and passing weather—
I
will lift up my eyes to sun and moon and stars—
I
will lift up my eyes to soaring eagles and golden butterflies—
I
will lift up my eyes and be filled with wonder.
From whence comes this wonder?
It
is part of the awesome Life-Spirit binding all together
by
which heavens and earths are made
of
which we are a part.
The Spirit neither slumbers
or sleeps
but
is always present and active.
The
Spirit surrounds us and keeps us.
The Creative Spirit preserves
and protects against evil
and
will keep us.
The Spirit abides in this place
and in us.
In
the Spirit we have peace.
I lift up my eyes from this
hill.
From
whence comes my peace?
My
peace comes from the Spirit
in
whom I live and move and have my being.
May the Spirit be known by
all
who
abide in this place.
