I will set a table
For my soul
Among the trees
Quiet, I will wait
Beneath a canopy of leaves
Let stillness be the table
Let silence be the cloth
Let sunlight be the service, gleaming
My seat a bed of moss
I will set a table
For my soul
Out in the wild
Calling her to come
And play, as if she were a child
Let soft winds be the music
Let flowers be the dance
Let butterflies be our hearts, weaving
Patterns out of chance
I will set a table
For my soul
In forest glade
Inviting her to rest
And feast, on Bread no hands have made
Let wonder be the blessing
Let laughter be the prayer
Let forgiveness be our cup, healing
And let Love be the fare
I will set a table
For my soul
Where woods are deep
And wide enough for two
Or more, so you can sit by me
