I Vow a Vow

I Vow a Vow
Music and Lyrics by Dinah Satterwhite

I love the power of stillness
A moment of real rest
In silence I see clearly
My vision’s at its best

I wash my hands of judging
To see beyond the gate
The goodness that’s inherent
My path is love not hate

I want to be more patient
And give to those in need
Have courage when I need it
Be firm when faced with greed

I’ll stay the course with kindness
My wand ‘ring thoughts be gone
My journey is an open book
And kindness is my song

I vow a vow

To see a better world
They say one thing to do
Is look into the mirror
And see a better you

So pride goes out the door
I’ll jump the envy fence
Then break the wall of pity
And free up selfish sense

I vow a vow

Even if I stumble
Along the rocky way
I’ll patiently step forward
Embracing each new day

Then as my joy soars upward
I’ll see what I can gain
When I love myself and let go
Of sorrow, hate and pain

I vow a vow

To be a better person
And open up my heart
I’ll show love with a passion
Be strong and do my part

With spirit at my side
And divine truth as my cause
I’ll confidently life my life
Within God’s perfect law
