Touch the Earth Lightly

Author: Shirley Erana Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Hymns of Promise #24 (2015) Meter: 5.5.10 D Lyrics: 1 Touch the earth lightly, use the earth gently, nourish the life of the world in our care: gift of great wonder, ours to surrender, trust for the children tomorrow will bear. 2 We who endanger, who create hunger, agents of death for all creatures that live, we who would foster clouds of disaster-- God of our planet, forestall and forgive! 3 Let there be greening, birth from the burning, water that blesses and air that is sweet, health in God's garden, hope in God's children, regeneration that peace will complete. 4 God of all living, God of all loving, God of the seedling, the snow and the sun, teach us, deflect us, Christ reconnect us, using us gently, and making us one.

God of the Future

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #360 (2013) Meter: 5.5.10 D Lyrics: 1 God of the future, calling us forward, thaw our inertia, and wean us from greed; transform false comfort into commitment that we may serve you in word and in deed. 2 Where we think justice will crown our journey, teach us in mercy to seek our true home; when ending bloodshed seems our best purpose show us the deep peace that lives in shalom. 3 Widen our vision to grasp a mission broader than any we dream on our own; help us surrender all that would hinder our full intention to be yours alone. 4 For our forebodings give us a foretaste of all you call us to do and to be; God of the future, still lead us forward to live as people whom Christ has set free.
