Song – “Spirit of Life/Source de Vie” – sing along with the piano accompaniment:

Spirit of Life, come unto me. Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.
Blow in the wind, rise in the sea, move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice.
Roots, hold me close, wings, set me free. Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

Source de vie, viens comble moi, chante dans mon cœur tous les sentiments de grâce
Souffle dans le vent, vogue sur la mer, coule dans mes mains, vie d’espoir et de justice.
Terre nourris moi, ciel emporte moi, Source de vie viens vers moi, viens vers moi.
