folk at a Cornerstone campus met to consider future options

Oh God, you are our shield and buckler too.
And we want to see sisters and brothers
empowered and enabled to serve you
reflecting care and life, not just smothered.

Please give those folk who met, creativeness,
and help them get a sense of your heart-beat -
and why you've put them on Earth, to address
the things that make you glad, & make you weep.

And lift their heads up high, to who you raised:
High- King, and Priest, and Prophet over all,
the one who is for-ever to be praised
help them remember "Cornerstone" is small,

and keep on getting vision and the means,
from he who is quite fully "Cornerstone",
who's given us our orders and our dreams.
Help them, like him, to know we aren't alone.

And us, as well, help us not lose our nerve,
but listen to you daily, as we can,
we know you've given more than we deserve,
We don't want to stand "on our own", as "Man",

unless that's understood and lived, like him,
who never was "alone" in all his life,
although he felt he was, when light was dim,
he still spoke with you, and  knew you were rife

with "answers", understandings, loving care,
you never left, you suffered, and you bared
your right arm in his body, you were there,
your mighty pow'r of love has always cared.
