MAY THE LIGHT OF LOVE BY DAVID ROTH
I was driving from Bellevue (Seattle area) to Arcata CA to pick my oldest son up from college. He just finished his first year so as you can imagine I was pretty jazzed making the 12+ hour drive to collect him. Clyde T Dog and I drove down and since Clyde isn't great at making conversation I turned to my trusty CD collection. David Roth is one of my favorite musicians to listen to - his music in inspiring and inspired. I wanted to share the lyrics to his song May the Light of Love with you and to STRONGLY encourage you to get your hands on it because it rocks! Well maybe rocks isn't quite right but it is moving :o)
MAY THE LIGHT OF LOVE © 1986, David Roth
As we come around to take our places at the table
A moment to remember and reflect upon our wealth
Here's to loving friends and family, here's to being able
To gather here together in good company and health
May we be released from all those feelings that would harm us
May we have the will to give them up and get them gone
For heavy are the satchels full of anger and false promises
May we have the strength to put them down
CHORUS
May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit
May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way
May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it
May the light of love be with you every day
May we wish the best for everyone that we encounter
May we swallow pride and may we do away with fear
For it's only what we do not know that we have grown afraid of
And only what we do not choose to hear
CHORUS
May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit
May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way
May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it
May the light of love be with you every day
As we bless our daily bread and drink our day's libation
May we be reminded of the lost and wayward soul
The hungry and the homeless that we have in every nation
May we fill each empty cup and bowl
May nothing ever come between or threaten to divide us
May we never take for granted all the gifts that we receive
Being ever mindful of the unseen hands that guide us
And the miracles that cause us to believe
CHORUS
May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit
May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way
May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it
May the light of love be with you every day
May the horn of plenty sound so everyone can hear it
May the light of love be with you...may the light of love be with you
May the light of love be with you every day
