How Shall We Find You
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How shall we find you Lyrics: 1 How shall we find you,
God who is Holy,
captured by gender,
color, and code?
How shall we worship,
God of the Presence,
action and essence,
meaning and mode?
2 How shall we know you,
God who is Wisdom,
argued by scholars,
proofed on a page:
how to imagine,
God of Creation,
worlds beyond thinking,
here on our stage?
3 How shall we trust you,
God in the scriptures,
filtered through lenses,
biased and blurred:
how to revere you,
God of Tradition,
cased in our churches,
Word bound to word?
4 How shall we see you
if not in people
knit to your nature,
focused in sight—
angels and artists,
teachers and healers,
heart-and-soul people,
children of light.
5 How shall we love you
if not as human,
loving us wholly,
fleshed on our frame,
known to our hunger,
known in the meeting
spirit to Spirit,
naming our name. Topics: Contemplation; Discernment; God Mystery of; God's Presence; Seeking; Spirituality Scripture: Psalm 27:7-9 Used With Tune: EVENING HYMN
