One Light

Now that we know we’re living light
Ensouling this decaying form
Why for do we yet crouch in fright
Oblivious to bliss mists warm

Our life span is short, why waste it
Now that we know we’re living light
Once the lamp of God's love is lit
We dwell in throes of bliss delight

In rapture thus by day and night
Ego recedes; head-heart align
Now that we know we’re living light
Each breath to God’s will we resign

Gentling touch, as we come undone
God’s grace bestows spherical sight
Clear truth dawns that we all are one
Now that we know we’re living light
