Be There – 2011 posting

.

Be there in our dreams, oh Love,

be there in our waking,

be there when we dance with joy

and when our hearts are aching.

.

Love, be in the gifts we give

and in those we receive,

be there when the white dove lights

and when he takes his leave.

.

Be there when the tide comes in

and when the tide flows out,

Love be near us in our faith

and nearer when we doubt.

.

Be there when the moon is waxing,

stay close when it wanes,

Love, be in our song’s first measure

and its last refrain.

.
