Flowers fall, but …

“For you have been born again,
not of perishable seed,
but of imperishable,
through the living and enduring word of God.

For,

‘All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord endures for ever.’

And this is the word that was preached to you.”

ALL:	We believe in a word that forms on the lips of the creator and echoes in our souls: a word that is LOVE.
MEN:	We believe in a word that breaks the silence of evil and disturbs the noise of ignorance: a word that is LOVE.
WOMEN:	We believe in a word that brings life out of death and laughter with the morning: a word that is LOVE.
MEN:	We believe in a word that tears up the darkness flooding it with light: a word that is LOVE.
WOMEN:	We believe in a word that speaks to all loneliness with self-giving compassion and care: a word that is LOVE.
ALL:	We believe in a word that speaks to our futures calling us by name, to trust anew, and believe once more in a word called LOVE.
