Adapted from L. Griswold Williams

Love is the doctrine of this church,

the quest for truth is its sacrament,

and service is its prayer.

To dwell together in peace,

to seek knowledge in freedom,

to serve human need,

To the end that all souls shall grow into harmony with the divine.

Thus do we covenant.

Sung Response Spirit of Life (McDade) Lisa Kynvi

Spirit of Life, come unto me.

Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.

Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;

Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.

Roots hold me close; wings set me free;

Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

Closing Song One More Step (Poley) Dick and Susan Riley

One more step, we will take one more step,

‘Til there is peace for us and everyone,

We’ll take one more step.

One more word, we will say one more word,

‘Til every word is heard by everyone,

We’ll say one more word.

One more prayer, we will say one more prayer,

‘Til every prayer is shared by everyone,

We’ll say one more prayer.

One more song, we will sing one more song,

‘Til every song is sung by everyone,

We’ll sing one more song.
