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.
