Author: David Sparks Hymnal: Sing the Faith #2183 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Unsettled world, where people long Lyrics: 1 Unsettled world, where people long
to find their way, to feel secure,
from lives of turbulence and rush
we come, to seek your peace, our God,
your word to hear, our faith to live.
2 Unsettled world, where money rules
and greedy systems call the tune;
for strength to keep our values straight
we come, with trust in you, O God,
your word to hear, our faith to live.
3 Unsettled world, where angry poor
from grinding need at affluence stare,
with tears and thirst for truth and right
we come, with longing in our hearts,
your word to hear, our faith to live.
4 Unsettled world, unsettled church,
whose structures creak and doctrines swirl,
by faith, and in the strength of Christ,
we strive, in true community,
your word to hear, our faith to live. Languages: English Tune Title: THUNDER BAY
