The Gift of Relationship

There is much, this day, to be thankful for,

Much to appreciate,

One thing stands out above the rest,

It’s that You and I relate.

Relating, Lord, to You, there,

My loneliness is gone,

You fill me up, complete me,

My heart is filled with song. 

With You, I cease my searching,

I long for nothing more,

My focus is on You, Lord,

It’s You, I do adore.

You tell me we are One, there,

The One includes the All,

The love we share must reach out,

Must answer to God’s call. 

It’s not enough to savor,

A private love, with You,

God’s living love must reach out, 

Relate to All, it’s true. 

Inclusiveness is called for,

So let us spread this love,

It is God’s very meaning,

For All to partake of.

Sharing will not take away,

Nor weaken what we know,

Will not intrude on what we have,

Will dampen not the glow.

Giving is receiving,

Let us not forget,

We give to whom we really are,

As One, our needs are met. 

The gift of real relationship,

Which we now have this day,

Will ‘waken Us to Oneness,

God's love will light the way! 

In closing I will tell you,

So oft’ repeated there,

I am with you, always,

My love I fully share.
