Break us open to disclose how brokenness can
heal,
wherever broken loaves suffice to give a crowd a
meal
and graves break open to release new life from
death’s dread seal.

Give us to the world you love, as light and salt and
yeast,

Gentle God, When We Are Driven
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5:21-26 Lyrics: 1 Gentle God, when we are driven
past the limits of our love,
when our hurt would have a weapon
and the hawk destroy the dove,
at the cost of seeming weak,
help us turn the other cheek.
2 Gentle Spirit, when our reason
clouds in anger, twists in fear,
when we strike instead of soothing,
when we bruise and sting and smear,
cool our burning, take our pain,
bring us to ourselves again.
3 In the mirror of earth’s madness
let us see our ravaged face,
in the turmoil of all people
let compassion find a place,
touch our hearts to make amends,
see our enemies as friends.
4 Let our strength be in forgiving
as forgiven we must be,
one to one in costly loving,
finding trust and growing free,
gentle God, be our release,
gentle Spirit, teach us peace. Topics: Anger; Anger; Forgiveness; Forgiveness From God; Justice Economic; Nonviolence; Peace and Justice; Peace Conflict and War; Peace Interpersonal; Reconciliation; Sermon on the Mount Used With Tune: TAWA
Gentle God, When We Are Driven
Beyond the Beauty and the Awe
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 5 Lyrics: 1 Beyond the beauty and the awe,
beyond the fear and dread,
we long, O God, to hear your word,
to taste your transformed bread.
2 Our lives feel torn between the world,
whose needs are grimly real,
and empty talk of peace and joy
with distant, vague appeal.
3 Oh, teach us how to hear your voice
despite the traffic’s din,
to keep the blasts of rancor out
and let your Spirit in.
4 In sound or silence, sight or smell,
may we some token find
that makes your living presence known
to body, soul, and mind.
5 Then help us live as Jesus taught,
as light and salt and yeast,
that others may be brought to share
your promise and your feast.
