Beating still, beating quietly, beating nonetheless,
Attention becomes the disciple of intention.
A stir within, roars within, formation from within.
Look and listen closely as true passion is revealed.

Following the leader? Where? To what good do they lead?
Igniting hearts? Uniting hearts? On whose behalf?
All hearts can and must choose for whom and for what they burn.
Discern! Discern! Deception has so many voices.

Does the message uplift all of us, like the true one
Who gracefully overcomes the small, in all of us,
Helping the steadfast to be ready, set, and to ask,
How does this represent the good teacher serving all?

The Lord keeps faith forever,
secures justice for the oppressed,
gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets captives free.
The Lord gives sight to the blind;
the Lord raises up those who were bowed down.
The Lord loves the just;
the Lord protects strangers.
The fatherless and the widow the Lord sustains,
but the way of the wicked he thwarts.
The Lord shall reign forever;
your God, O Zion, through all generations. Alleluia. – Psalm 146:6-10
