Author: Daniel Charles Damon, 1955- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #233 (2013) Meter: 5.6.10 D Lyrics: 1 Strong, gentle children,
God made you beautiful,
gave you the wisdom and power you need;
speak in the stillness
all you are longing for;
live out your calling to love and to lead.
2 Strong, hurting children,
angry and terrified,
open the secrets your life has concealed;
though you are wounded,
know you are not to blame;
cry out your story till truth is revealed.
3 Strong, knowing children,
utter your cry aloud,
honor the wisdom God gave you at birth;
speak to your elders
till they have heard your voice;
sing out your vision of healing on earth. Topics: Call/Calling; Challenge; Children; Children of God; Courage; Fear; Giftedness; Healing; Ministry; Relationships; Renewal; Shalom; Testimony; Truth; Vision; Worth of All Persons Scripture: Matthew 19:13-14 Languages: English Tune Title: TWILIGHT
