May the Light of Love--Lyrics
By David Roth
VERSE 1 As we come around to take our places at the table, A moment to remember and reflect upon our wealth. Here's to loving friends and fam'ly, here's to being able To gather here together in good company and health.
VERSE 2 May we be released from all those feelings that would harm us. May we have the will to give them up and get them gone, For heavy are the satchels full of anger and false promise. May we have the strength to put them down.
CHORUS 1 May the light of love be shining deep within your spirit. May the torch of mercy clear the path and show the way. May the horn of plenty sound so ev'ryone can hear it. May the light of love be with you ev'ry day.
VERSE 3 And may we wish the best for ev'ryone that we encounter. May we swallow pride and may we do away with fear, For it's only what we do not know that we have grown afraid of, And only what we do not choose to hear.
CHORUS 1
VERSE 4 And as we bless our daily bread and drink our day’s libation, May we be reminded of the lost and wayward soul, The hungry and the homeless that we have in ev'ry nation. May we fill each empty cup and bowl.
CHORUS 2 May nothing ever come between or threaten to divide us. May we never take for granted all the gifts that we receive, Being ever mindful of the unseen hands that guide us, And the miracles that cause us to believe.
CHORUS 1
OUTRO May the horn of plenty sound so ev'ryone can hear it. May the light of love be with you, may the light of love be with you, May the light of love be with you ev'ryday.
