As We Circle Around

[darren goble]

the leaf and the twig and the branch and the trunk
the roots and the soil and the water and sun
it all comes together as we circle around

the mother, her child, her son and her daughter
the teacher, the pupil, integrity, honor
it all comes together as we circle around

our traditions, our past, our future, our hope
our community, our faith, our gifts and our strength
it all comes together as we circle around

    as we circle around - together we're one
    as we circle around - joy within us
    as we circle around - hope unties us
    as we circle around - love unites us
    as we circle around - peace calls us
    to circle around - until each one is home
    it all comes together as we circle around

next time you visit Norton Heights congregation we ought to have you use this for the closing "circle prayer"
