Immanent Yet Transcendent

Immanent yet transcendent, glory of the earth
Joy is love-resplendent, spiritual rebirth
Every soul is born dependent, on the voice within
Only one is our defendant, for the price of sin

Happiness is not a task, on which we can depend
Happy children learn to ask, before they learn to fend
What we do to gain success, is worthy to discuss
But when we search for happiness, our happiness finds us

The happiness, that we expect, is not the perfect deal
For love is born of self-respect, regarding how we feel 
When kindness borrows charity, to feed the hungry heart
Then service needs our clarity, to do the goodly part

Though happiness is fleeting, our love provides a lift
For good is worth repeating, and joy is our true gift
We love and serve each other, through immanent review
To win the grateful brother, transcendent glory too.
