flight of the butterfly, rising free
A walk on the beach
The sun setting over the tall buildings
They enjoyed the sounds of the waves
The colors of the darkening winter sky
Father God,
Hold us today in Your perfect will
Guide us to the everlasting well
Living Water that flows through Christ
Out of the mire
Lotus rises true
From yesterday’s sorrows
Hope springs forth anew
Out of the east
Colors call your name
Echoes of tomorrow
Today ringing the same
Fearful frustration
Ego’s lonely call
Trudging the miles
Walking ever tall
Healing and sickness
Sorrow and great glee
Walk the path of clarity
Open eyes still see
Out of the mire
Lotus rises true
From yesterday’s sorrows
Hope springs forth anew
