28. God, You Spin the Whirling Planets

Find hymn on ONE LICENSE

1 God, You spin the whirling planets,
Fill the seas and spread the plain,
Mold the mountains, fashion blossoms,
Call forth sunshine, wind and rain.
We, created in Your image,
Would a true reflection be
Of Your justice, grace and mercy
And the truth that makes us free.

2 You have called us to be faithful
In our life and ministry,
We respond in grateful worship
Joined in one community.
When we blur Your gracious image,
Focus us and make us whole,
Healed and strengthened as Your people,
We move onward toward Your goal.

3 God, Your will is still creating,
Calling us to life made new,
Now reveal to us fresh vistas
Where there's work to dare to do.
Keep us clear of all distortion,
Polish us with loving care,
Thus new creatures in Your image,
We'll proclaim Christ ev'rywhere.
