(Doing “Eu-Charis”* and “Leit-Ourgia” **)
The Spirit of the Leading Lord
takes to the floor,
begins the dance,
casts off the mourning veil,
and swirls twirls in the
rapture of the rhythm
of grace, of joy, of
lightness of stepping heart,-
and then we slowly move
into the Centre,
take the dance,
catch the reeling rhythm,
lift our hearts,
let go in pristine praise
and are
caught up in all the
movement of that fiery Spirit
swirling raptured at the Cross
and empty tomb,- today.
We are alive! We have risen
to our new-born glory, won for us-
and at this table we will dance our hearts
away
from death, from night into
this Glorious Day.

* Eu-Charis…. Greek for ‘A most beautiful Gift’ and the Thanks that flows from it: hence Eucharist.
** Leit-Ourgia… Greek for ‘the People’s Work’… hence Liturgy:
