Jesus is reborn
Always in each one open
To God's compassion
To live or to die
Even fierce alligators
Wait on our consent
Share what you have now
Opportunities to give
Might not come again
Every moment God elects
To give us life
Through air, water and Earth
Of Earth we can say
"Late have I learned to love you”
Then hope we may grow
Preachers talk of God
Those in deep prayer go straight to
Our Source of all Love
Alone on a beach
Resting deep in a forest
We feel the Divine
What our future holds
Worry not so long as we
View life as sacred
By Divine consent
And the Breath of God
We continue in this life
We are faced with changes
Which must be made if we wish
To have a future
