Faithful to our trust
Well I've loved you and you've loved me more than we know to
tell
But all that love alone will not suffice
And just cause we've committed all- our beings know too well
That heart and soul and mind and strength are a pretty paltry price
As devices deconstruct into dependence
We will dream until the darkness drips daylight.
As humility o'ertakes our willful wandering
We will open eyes of empathy and see with true insight
So we will do what we believe and not what we feel we must
For the oil of gladness has been poured out on our way
The one we've placed our faith in has been faithfull to our trust
The mourning turned to dancing in more ways than we can say
But I'll write this song and try to try to say it anyway
As the dreams become new chapters in our history
Then our vision clears and seeing we will see…
That a life be being filled with holy mystery
Is the only life we want for you and me
And our fires will burn brighter every night
And desires take backseat to our love's demands
For we've become more fiery than our most passionate fight
And God's promises more precious than our plans…
For God has made a place where we can live as one
A place of peace a place of grace, a place of all our own
A place where he will finish what he alone has begun
A place where we can know as we are known…
So we will do what we believe and not what we feel we must
For the oil of gladness has been poured out on our way
The one we've placed our faith in has been faithfull to our trust
The mourning turned to dancing in more ways than we can say
But I'll write this song and try to try to say it anyway
On our 25th anniversary eve
