Author: Jeffrey Rowthorn, 1934- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #139 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Creating God, your fingers trace
the bold designs of farthest space;
let sun and moon and stars and light
and what lies hidden praise your might.
2 Sustaining God, your hands uphold
earth's myst'ries known or yet untold;
let water's fragile blend with air,
enabling life, proclaim your care.
3 Redeeming God, your arms embrace
all now despised for creed or race;
let peace, descending like a dove,
make known on earth your healing love.
4 Indwelling God, your gospel claims
one fam'ly with a billion names;
let every life be touched by grace
until we praise you face to face. Topics: Belonging; God Sustainer; God's Image; Grace; Healing; Marginalized; Peace; Praise; Redemption; Sacredness of Creation; Unity Scripture: Psalm 24:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' CANON
