Spirit of life, on this new day, fly with us to points unknown; out of the ashes, lead the way; as we rise by love alone. Spirit of joy on this new day, soar with laughter, dance with light; riding the wind, you dive and play, teach us, now, love's open flight. Spirit of peace on this new day, rise with freedom and release, winging oppression's tears away, ending war and making peace. Spirit of truth on this new day, as you comfort, guide and bless, if we withdraw, when love would stay, heal our shame with your caress. Spirit of life on this new day, fly with us to points unknown; bear us at last, to God, we pray, by the love that we have shown.
