A call and response blessing chant.
May your heart be open
May your words be kind
May you see the face of god
when you look in each other’s eyes
May your feet sink down deep
into the mother’s soil
May you live into your roots
and to them remain loyal
May compassion be the foundation
upon which you live
May you hold nothing back
so that you can freely give
May forgiveness be your sword
May love be your shield
May you fully surrender
so that you may fully yield
May my heart be open
May my words be kind
May I see the face of god
when I look in another’s eyes
May my feet sink down deep
into the mother’s soil
May I live into my roots
and to them remain loyal
May compassion be the foundation
upon which I live
May I hold nothing back
so that I can freely give
May forgiveness be my sword
May love be my shield
May I fully surrender
so that I may fully yield
(All together softly)
May our hearts be open
May our words be kind
May we see the face of god
when we look in another’s eyes
May our feet sink down deep
into the mother’s soil
May we live into our roots
and to them remain loyal
May compassion be the foundation
upon which we live
May we hold nothing back
so that we may freely give
May forgiveness be our sword
May love be our shield
May we fully surrender
so that we may fully yield
