b'understanding
how all this life is divinely divided
all this anger and hatred we see
must be immersed in forgiveness
for us to find peace
Christ was born here on earth
hope is born from the depths of despair
a flame in us is lit to share
as understanding comes
from our hard lessons here
and from our hidden pleas
we open our hearts to receive
the answers to our prayer
had always been waiting here
the greatest gift God gave
is the living light
that still remains
the spark of the eternal flame
burns in the darkness
and from the seat of our soul
and we understand
the purpose for which we came
we can light that flame
we can bring more understanding
to the way we play this game
and we can be inspired each day
to have more compassion
for those lost on the way
and bring a little more love and kindness
to others we meet on the way
and then the light of Christmas
can shine so bright
with the blessings of understanding
leading us from darkness to light'
