Refreshment

An invitation to revive 
To the heavy labor of life.

A time to sit down and relax, 
Drink the water of well that never thirst, 

The soul to be silence, 
The body to be rested to 
Deal in God to be cleans.

The mind to feed in God's words 
To inhale the beauty it brings.

The thoughts to exhale the 
fragrance of goodwill.

Over-joy the spirit to swing free
Lighted in the light of God,
Gazing the serenity of love
That flow in the midst of oneself.

Glory and honor and power
The love of God exalted.
