                No matter how often

                we falter He abides

                in us. Waiting, listening

                

                for our hearts to remember

                His trust, words, and path

                ongoing every moment listening,

                for us to accept daily grace

                in love and commitment by

                gift of our Holy Spirit's foundation

                bound with love.
