Wherever you go

 

Monks of Weston Priory

 Wherever You Go

Wherever you go I shall go.

Wherever you live so shall I live.

Your people will be my people,

and your God will be my God too.

Wherever you die, I shall die,

and there shall I be buried beside you.

We will be together forever,

and our love will be the gift of our life.

Recite:

I want to say something to all of you

who have become a part

of the fabric of my life.

The color and texture

which you have brought into my being

have become a song,

and I want to sing it forever.

There is an energy in us

which makes things happen

when the paths of other persons

touch ours

and we have to be there

and let it happen.

When the time

of our particular sunset comes

our thing, our accomplishment,

won’t really matter a great deal.

But the clarity and care

with which we have loved others

will speak with vitality

of the great gift of life

we have been for each other.

Wherever you go I shall go.

Wherever you live so shall I live.

Your people will be my people,

and your God will be my God too.

Wherever you die, I shall die,

and there shall I be buried beside you.

We will be together forever,

and our love will be the gift of our life.

  3. Those words 'wherever you go' are from Ruth in the Bible, I loved that story as a child
