We draw apart from busy life
to set aside some space
and see afresh with open eyes
the beauty of this place.
We glimpse each separate grain of sand,
gold glistening one the shore,
and hear the haunting seagull's cry
above the breakers' roar.
Each quivering blade of grass reveals
the glory of God's earth;
in laughter's lilt, compassion's tear,
the Spirit brings new birth.
We join with all creation's choir
and sing of God's domain,
the love of Christ in empty hearts
now raised to life again.
Refreshed in body, mind, and soul,
we return to daily round,
our eyes and ears attuned to God
to serve with love new found.
