Morning Star

Prayers are the bright morning star,
Each breath has a radiance,
The shapes forged in grace and mercy
As our hearts strive to kindly serve God.
Steadily we remember and recite
Words holy, words great, words glorious
In order to serve, to obey, to love
The fanfare of faithful trumpets.
The faithful followers praying for the
living, the dead and blessings for all
Remain complete in their faith, dutiful,
To God in their thoughts and their deeds
Proclaim obedience to the ancient laws.
Let’s live lives worthy of veneration,
So filled with goodness and mercy.
Victorious over all sin,
May only love and hope pass
Across each living heart
And encourage kindness, praise,
In your life and the lives of all
Whom you encounter each day.
Remember the sacrifice of Christ,
Christ upon the Cross,
Remember within each day
Avoid the temptations, find the blessings
Find the strength to forgive.
Let your life be fertile, filled with love
And your heart joyful and giving and sharing,
In the love for Christ and the love for Christ there
In sorrow, in praise, with mercy, with hope
So our hearts reach up to God
In words spoken, words unspoken
In the humble language of goodness
And holiness, the foundation of our faith.
