Lyrics or Keywords
“Sacred the body God has created,
temple of Spirit that dwells deep inside.
Cherish each person; nurture creation.
Treat flesh as holy, that love may abide.
“Love respects persons,
bodies and boundaries.
Love does not batter, neglect, or abuse.
Love touches gently,
never coercing.
Love leaves the other with power to choose.”
Bodies are varied, made in all sizes,
Pale, full of color, both fragile and strong.
Holy the difference, gift of the Maker,
So let us honor each story and song.
Holy of holies, God ever loving,
Make us your temples; indwell all we do.
May we be careful, tender and caring,
So may our bodies give honor to you. “
