For When It's Time to Go

When it’s time to go,

You’ll know.

Because the burning in your heart

Will rise up a holy flame,

And you will find the strength

To melt through bars

Of fear, of doubt,

Of shackled status quo.

When it’s time to go,

Lord help the ones

Who try to hold you back

With doubt and accusations.

Say what they will,

You know the truth

That sets you free

From labels, whispers, machinations.

When it’s time to go,

Set out boldly

Take faith, take heart

Take Love and freedom with you

Into the places they were

Always meant to be,

To desert, wilderness,

War-torn wild places.

Oh, dear one,

The world is bigger than you know,

With living rivers always

Flowing towards the sea.

Remember who you are,

The one who trusts, the one who hopes.

Go out and live.
