Song of the Transfiguration (David Haas)

Transform us as you transfigured,
Stood apart at Tabor’s height.
Lead us up our sacred mountain;
Search us with revealing light.
Lift us from where we have fallen
Full of questions, filled with fright.

Transform us you transfigured,
Once spoke with those holy ones.
We, surrounded by the witness
Of those saints whose work is done,
Live in this world as your Body,
Chosen daughters, chosen sons.

Transform us as you transfigured,
Would not stay within a shrine.
Keep us from our great temptation –
Time and truth we quickly bind.
Lead us down those daily pathways,
                 Where our love is not confined.
