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!
