We Declare (Covenant of Love) | URF Founders Day Anthem | Feb 8, 2026

Описание: This song is a declaration.

✨ We Declare (Covenant of Love) is an original Founders Day anthem written by Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler and premiered during the February 8, 2026 Universal Rainbow Faith Church Founders Day service.

It is rooted in the Founding Declaration of Universal Rainbow Faith, proclaiming what has always been true — that LGBTQIA+ lives are sacred, identities are divine, and love is not conditional.

This song speaks directly against erasure, shame, and spiritual abuse — and replaces them with truth, dignity, and covenant.

This is not borrowed faith.
This is not permission-based belonging.
This is faith reclaimed.

💫 The song honors:
• Sacred naming and identity
• Gender, body, and soul as holy
• Collective liberation across time
• The courage to stand in truth

The verse naming Ella (they/them) affirms that pronouns, names, and identities are not political trends — they are spiritual truths.

Lyrics

Verse 1
We were told to wait our turn,
To shrink, to hide, to disappear,
But sacred truth does not ask permission,
And love refuses fear.
We rise with names they tried to silence,
With lives they tried to erase,
Every truth still burning bright
In this holy place.

Spoken Pre-Chorus
This is not borrowed faith.
This is not conditional grace.

Chorus
We declare our bodies sacred,
We declare our lives divine,
Every gender, every story,
Every truth through space and time.
We declare no soul illegal,
No identity denied,
This is holy ground we’re standing on,
This is faith that will not hide.

Verse 2
We speak the names they said were wrong,
We bless the paths they tried to bar,
Ella — they/them — beloved, holy,
Exactly who you are.
From ancestors to futures waiting,
From fire, breath, and flame,
We carry forward what was hidden,
And sanctify each name.

Bridge
We were never the mistake,
We are the revelation,
Love embodied, truth in motion,
Living declaration.

Final Chorus
We declare — and we are here,
No fear, no shame, no disguise,
We are covenant and courage,
We are love made visible, alive.
We declare — and love endures,
Across all time, all space, all lands,
This is faith in action now,
This is who we are. We stand.

🌈 This song is offered as prayer, proclamation, and promise — for now and for generations to come.
