from the ground we come

from the ashes we fall

from the cracks we break through

from the depths we are brought

from despair we are saved

from wounds we are healed

to love we are brought

to mercy we see

to grace we now live

to beauty we are given

for the lonely

for the outcast

for the wanderer

for the disillusioned

for the slave

for the desperate

for those who fall short

and continue to see how short

through his power

through his resurrection

through his pursuit

through his holding of it all

and burying it

through this fulfillment we live
