The open book I am --
The keeper of stars you are --

The sincerity of heart I share --
The agility of mind you bear --

The fires we walked through then and there --
The deep waters we swim in here and now --

It is all unfinished --
It is all complete --

We are ever longing -- 
We are full, replete --

The way the sun rises --
The way the moon sets --

How it was in the beginning --
How the end a beginning begets --

Why we fled, ashamed, afraid --
Why we returned with only love --

In the iron core below --
In the firmament above --

With the peace of Christ --
With the grace of God --

With the supporting staff --
With the correcting rod --

The magic, the moment, the mystery --
The sure aim and ever-fixed mark --

The dance of the joyful hummingbird --
The song of the lonesome lark --

The many-colored coat of promise --
The simple seamless garment --

A partnershiph of service --
Shared story on the parchment --

A life dreamed in fragments --
A love made whole again --

Land where we are going --
Oceans where we've been --
