Through all it's hardship and strife
But let us love and serve
By which we may preserve
The way of grace which works
Through every humble deed
It knows it's greatest need
And bleeds its soul to heal
For pain is the only path to recovery
The great discovery of life
Lies in the service of others
Therein we find sisters and brothers
A home in the desert
An oasis for the soul
Where we release control
And surrender to the power
Of serenity
When at last our own depravity
Has found it's deepest gravity
At last we come awakened
To the joys of the rising sun
The world around us
And life has just begun
When at last we give
Of ourselves to everyone
When we find this present peace
In this one extravagant release
A hope hath found its harbor
And rest beside the sea
-Joshua Lee Foist
