We grow or die, in our faith, in life
we learn and grow, through study
But there is no magic cure, no shortcut
Growth comes from beginning
Committing ourselves to the work
to scripture, Your story,
the story of the saints, fellowship
and the sharing with others
Overcoming doubts, fears, excuses
liberates, nurtures, feeds us
prepares us for the work
we are call to, in love
