It is often those to whom protection
has been denied who find the strength to rise
against rising tide of opposition,
relentless in its thirst for blood from life
of those whose innocence they would strip bare.

As warriors rising from heart of heaven,
one true legacy of humanity,
long denied their right by birth, they gather
to stand in a circle and hold the line
in time that now divides and multiplies.

These who come from afar to serve, who walk
by faith trusting life to lead through true heart
even when blinded led to barren land…
these called in time of waiting to await,
heed instruction, follow intuition,

Offer evidence, ever-present care.
In seeming absence of sovereign Spirit
their presence is standard-bearer of love
that pours down from above and rises up
to fill our cups and overflow with grace.
