The original words, written with Spiritual Adviser Cher Chevalier, are: “Love’s sparkling waters cleanse me night and day. I focus my mind lovingly on all that is good in me and in others. With each PEACEFUL thought my darkness is washed away. In gratitude, forgiveness and joy, I surrender my life to the purifying currents of Love’s holy ocean."
