As We Chart Our Course

As we chart our course for tomorrow
  and we set our sights on our goal;
when we join to forge a new vision
  making all relationships whole;
when we walk together as pilgrims,
  we will rise to crisis and test,
and when we make room for the Spirit,
  we will find our journey is blessed.

We are called to follow our purpose,
  forming bridges, building up lives.
By rekindling zeal in our mission, 
  our community comes alive.
As we strive to fashion disciples,
  serving neighbours, helping the weak,
then we'll claim our role as a beacon
  for the brighter future we seek.

When we find ourselves at the crossroads,
  let our focus firmly be laid
on horizons bright with potential,
  not on burdens we would evade.
Witness to an undying message
  in the Good News we have to share:
where we foster hope and compassion,
  we will find God's presence is there.
