Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 5.5.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Transformation Lyrics: 1 God of the future,
calling us forward,
thaw our inertia, and wean us from greed;
transform false comfort
into commitment
that we may serve you in word and in deed.
2 Where we think justice
will crown our journey,
teach us in mercy to seek our true home;
when ending bloodshed
seems our best purpose
show us the deep peace that lives in shalom.
3 Widen our vision
to grasp a mission
broader than any we dream on our own;
help us surrender
all that would hinder
our full intention to be yours alone.
4 For our forebodings
give us a foretaste
of all you call us to do and to be;
God of the future,
still lead us forward
to live as people whom Christ has set free.
