1 Let us reach beyond the winter through this dark, depressive gloom, may the light of Christ come shining into every shuttered room. 2 May the sunshine of the spring time warm each frozen heart and mind, melting prejudice and anger by love faithful, strong and kind. 3 Now profound anticipation wakens hope and offers grace, as we press, with God beside us, to the future we must face. 4 God who shares our darkest moments, God of harmony and praise, lead us on until you greet us, God the goal of all our days.

I have a dream that on a day not very long from now, all war-like weapons will be banned; by grace, God, show us how. I have a dream that love will hear another's crying need, that justice will demand we act in spite of race or creed. I have a dream that everyone upon this far-flung earth will see the Christ in those around, affirm a common worth. I have a dream that peace will come and hunger cease to be; within this time, this present age, all people will be free. I have a dream that foolish dreams like this might come about if you and I go hand in hand, in trust instead of doubt. I have a dream, come take my hand, the risk is worth the chance, the world will spin, turn upside down if we join heaven's dance.
