Vessel that motivates
Erects hopes and creates
Simply feeds on our faith
Subtly salving our scathe
Expunging total fears
Lives in us through the years
O’ divine creator
Free us from greed greater
Your glory we do seek
Of your credence we speak
Upon us, let light base
Redeeming with thy grace.
Of all, thou art supreme
Restrain as thou may deem
In thy name we seek peace
Severing from filth, grease
O’ Lord, thou art our shield
Nothing sans thee is healed!
