Great are the marvels before us!

Great is the wonder that confounds us!

PEACE rises within us.

        Great is the richness of God’s PEACE.

Life in its complexities, Life in its intricacies!

Life in its great variety!

We are always living in the JOY of what can be!

        Great is the richness of God’s JOY.

We bask in the wonder of God’s Redemption, of God’s Love and God’s Promise.  The Spirit fans the spark of impossible LOVE into a flame for this candle and we proclaim,
