Words to some of the songs we may sing
From you I receive Shakur Allah Shakur |  Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti (Murshid SAM) |
One Bread, One Body, One Lord of All
One cup of blessing which we share
And we, though many, Throughout the Earth,
We are one body in this One Lord.
Ancestors, sky people, all here today
Hear my heart song, Hear my respect, Hear my love
Hear my grateful tears fall
I am truly blessed, You are truly blessed, We are truly blessed.
Moravian Blessing
Be present at our table Lord,
Be here and everywhere adored.
From Thine all bounteous hand, our food
May we receive with Gratitude.
