Praise lifts our spirit high, out of gloom and grieving, into new believing, gazing at the mystery far beyond our seeing, well and womb of being. Alleluia! Praise brings our spirit home to the Word of glory in our human story, love's eternal mystery, now in Jesus spoken, beautiful, and broken. Alleluia! Praise leads our spirit on to a dance surprising, meeting Christ arising. Touch the hem of mystery, sighing, seeking, groping, holding, healing, hoping. Alleluia! Praise fills our spirit's flight, climbing, swooping, soaring, growing and exploring on the breath of mystery, till we're resurrected in a world perfected. Alleluia!
