Let there be love around me
May it flow in and out
May it reach all I see
Let there be love

Let there be calm in this daily round
A sighing into life
Carried by the winds of time
Let there be love

Let there be joy in hearts that soar
Eyes wide and the mouth a tiny "O"
A sparkle, a bounce, a dance
Let there be love

Let there be struggle as we see the day
Moving towards it all - sweet or sour
Passing beyond that which seems to block
Let there be love

Let there be softness in our eyes
Beholding the pains and sorrows around
We've all been inside the hurt
Let there be love

Let there be wonder in the humdrum
A majesty in the simplest things
Applauding the spirit of each living one
Let there be love

Let there be peace across our many years
A smile that says "Well done"
A quiet nod that we gave and give 
Let there be love

Let there be you and me together
Seeing the shining face across the way
Being entered, inundated, blessed
Let there be love

Let there be "Yes" in a whisper
A thank you to all that has come my way
Richer, wider, longer, brighter 
Let there be love

Let there be endings ... and beginnings
The freshness of a newly born rose
The unknown beckoning: "Please come here"
Let there be love
