Lyrics

Fast from fear and feast on love. Fast from violence, feast on peace.
Fast from hatred, feast on care. Fast from terror, feast on hope.
Fast from envy, feast on joy. Fast from judgment, feast on compassion.
Fast from despair and feast on trust. Fast from anxiety, feast on wonder.

This is the fast that Love has chosen: for us to bring the day of justice,
For us to free the ones in chains, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked,
To offer shelter to the homeless, to tend the sick and those in pain,
To welcome the lonely, lost, and least. This is our fast. This is our feast.

Fast from cruelty, feast on kindness. Fast from revenge and feast on forgiveness.
Fast from controlling, feast on patience. Fast from complacency, feast on justice.
Fast from aloneness, feast on connection. Fast from shame and feast on delight.
Fast from selfishness, feast on giving. Fast from defensiveness, feast on welcoming.

This is the fast that Love has chosen: for us to bring the day of justice,
For us to free the ones in chains, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked,
To offer shelter to the homeless, to tend the sick and those in pain,
To welcome the lonely, lost, and least. This is our fast. This is our feast.

Fast from resentment, feast on tenderness. Fast from arrogance, feast on humility.
Fast from worry, feast on playfulness. Fast from busyness, feast on rest.
Fast from bleakness, feast on beauty. Fast from chaos, feast on silence.
Fast from violence, feast on peace. Fast from fear and feast on love.
