Whole and holy, called in Christ
Loved and enjoyed in the heart of God
We God's people, living together
All of us welcomed for what we are
Wide and open arms to love
Holding a refuge to tell our truth
We God's people, all celebrating
Every discovery journeyed true
We remember longest nights
Stormy and fearful before the dawn
We God's people, ever in process
Honoring breakthroughs and openings
Brave and glorious, hearts aglow
Once we were strangers alone, afraid
We God's people, a church slowly learning
Christ's urgent call to respect and bless
Hearts are beating, eyes are clear
Hailing the beauty of all who come
We God's people, never completed
Ever embracing the whole of us

In the beginning was the Word, God and with God
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
From the beginning it was life, the light for all people
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
And Jesus said to all his friends, "My peace be with you"
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
"Receive the Holy Spirit Breath. I am with you"
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
Unless a seed would fall and die, it stays but one seed
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
But if the seed is broken now, more will abound
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
Jesus was born and Jesus died, and God raised him up
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
We celebrate the Story here with voices of hope
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
God of beginnings, God of ends, make us your love
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
Oh may your people be your life, the light for all people
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again
Christ is coming, ever coming, coming again

God of My Breathing
03:12
|
|||
God of my breathing and God of my heart
Spirit embodied in all human parts
Would that this body, from head to the toes
Bring forth Your glory in all that I know
God of my eating and God of my taste
Flavor my nourishment full with Your grace
Bless what comes in through this mouth that it might
Bless how I live with the kindness of Christ
God of my hearing and God of my sight
Bless all I find from the moment I rise
Upon this mind your table be found
Prayerfully offered these visions and sounds
God of my footsteps and God of my path
Where these feet travel may they know no lack
Shoes on the pavement or toes in the soil
Carry your servant where Christ bids them go
God of my memories, Lord of this mind
God of the moment whose vision is time
All I remember and all I forget
Hold in Your keeping so this soul might rest
God of my limits and God of all truth
You who have knit me with joy in the womb
Would that this body from head to the toes
Bring forth Your glory in all that I know

In the river of your grace
Though I may not hear or see
Set on earth, aloft in space
My life carried faithfully
Journey under summer sun
'Round the bend a mystery
Still I'm moving in my time
Breathless at the scenery
Journey under autumn moon
Joy within my heart to sing
Floating, watching for the turn
That another sunrise brings
All together sailing on
We are flowing full of thanks
Time to time and place to place
Ever in your riverbanks
|
||||
25. |

Thank God and sing praise
Raise our voices higher
Proclaim Christ's way
Thank God and sing praise
Make the circle wider
All who know the taste of grace
God's people gathered all over the world
Led on in promise, sent forth in joy
With shouts of thanksgiving all over the world
Sing Hallelujah

Christ in the hearts of all who know me
O Christ, surround me
