Here is a Canvas as Broad as Creation
Author: Andrew Pratt Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Arts and Sciences Lyrics: 1 Here is a canvas as broad as creation,
here is a palette of life and of light.
Here God is painting through each generation,
mixing fresh pigments to move or delight.
2 Artists have joined in the bright celebration,
capturing images, pictures that shine;
telling new stories, recording our hist'ry,
moments of harmony, dancing through time.
3 Others reflecting, exploring and shaping,
seek to imagine, to let colours flow,
using their skills as they share in creation,
changing perspectives as images grow.
4 Now let us join in this same acclamation,
challenge perceptions and offer new ways,
new ways of seeing to share re-creation,
now in this place, in this time, in our days.
Here is a Canvas as Broad as Creation
