By Michael Murphy, Ed.D.
The Cord
And when we have our hand upon the cord
That captures all we mean when we say Lord
That guides us always unerringly along our way
As we face the crossroads of our days
And look within to see what we believe
And witness as that which can be is conceived
The purity of moments we receive.
There is a knowing that all we do is right
That all we need is brought within our sight
And our feet will bring us where we need to go
Without a thought as to what we need to know
The breeze will cool our head and the sun warm our back
As we understand there is not a thing we lack
And all will come precisely in its time
And mine will be yours and also yours be mine
And we will stand alone but strong upon the peak
Home of the strong and also of the meek
And we will see the breadth of all we know
And all the places we have been and we will go
Knowing that the sacred path’s laid bare
Knowing we have all and all we share
When we walk in service of the Lord
And rest our hand securely on the Cord.
