"Let this be our sign that we loved and won"

Holes in the Sky In the dialectic of love and fear Some people have a scripture about it As in my own tradition I have one: Peter says "perfect love casts out fear" and So do I without reason to doubt it And loving imperfectly understand Since having been loved that way I know how As much as something like this can be known Love is never afraid and always kind And no matter what has happened before There is nothing to be afraid of here Escaping frightened and frightening priests Forgiving ourselves for what they have done Free human beings now not burdened beasts Having left that way of thinking behind Love brings us together to love the more Here where at last they have left us alone We look for the love we were looking for Disinterested and simple and small And caring for each other far and near We would just like to make it better now Perfect love is pure and enough for all To dare to break through to our humankind Marked with a drop of our blood and a tear Let this be our sign of better begun At the crossing of the heart and the mind Though having survived what we have we are Believers in love unafraid of fear Who may never find it but who may try Let this be our sign of better fought for A galaxy our own and each a star And where there are dark places we know why As finding the love we were looking for We shine the more for the holes in the sky Let this be our sign that we loved and won +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
