Spirit, Draw Near

I hope people celebrating various holidays might enjoy the words to this song.

Spirit, Draw Near
copyright 2006, Patricia M. Shannon
(verse can also be sung to tune of "Gathered Here" by Philip A. Porter)

We are here in the spirit/mystery of the hour,
join us as we come together,
in the love that is the highest power;
Spirit draw near.

(chorus)
Spirit draw near,
Spirit draw near,
in the love that is the highest power;
Spirit draw near.

All the woes of the world we put away,
as we search for higher meaning,
and a path that leads to wiser ways,
Spirit draw near

(chorus)
Spirit draw near,
Spirit draw near,
lead us on a path to wiser ways,
Spirit draw near.

In a world full of wondrous things to know,
we can be forever learning,
when we work together we can grow.
Spirit draw near

(chorus)
Spirit draw near,
Spirit draw near,
when we work together we can grow,
Spirit draw near.
