Lyrics

Look in my heart and you’ll find there is longing;

Deep in my heart where the love knows no end.

Called now to serve, will I know how to answer?

Peace, Love, Amen.

How can we know what tomorrow will bring us?

What we begin is a path without end.

Path leads to path, and they join, interwoven.

Peace, Love, Amen.

So, in the light of the love all around us,

Here in the strength of this circle of friends,

Pledge we to search for these answers together:

Peace, Love, Amen.

Peace, Love, Amen.
