Blessed Calling
by Ted L Glines

Breathe deeply
relax completely
you can hear naught
but the sound of my voice,
breathe deeply
relax completely
you are under my power
there is no other choice,
your doubts - your fears
for you have sinned
are blowing away
like chaff in my wind
your muddied vision
confusion and strife
comes clear in the light
blessed day - brand new life
for you are born
again this day
to walk a new path
live life a new way
a pebble of love
dropped into the pond
spreading rings of light
where you walk - and beyond
for the Lord will bless you
clothe you - feed you
and you will bring others
where the Lord will lead you
...
counting now
from one to three,
on the count of three
you will open your eyes,
one... two... three
you open your eyes
to a world full of love
where your heart will rise
to greet each dawn
blessed and wise
and in this fashion
spread holy compassion
and love for all people
like a chime ringing soft
in your personal steeple.
