God Is Unique And One

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is unique and one: Maker, Sustainer, Lord! Patterns of life were spun by that creative word. Of God's intention, love and care we are with growing trust aware. 2 Love came to earth in Christ, our common life to share, choosing to be the least, willing a cross to bear. He died, he rose, that we might live and all our love, responding, give. 3 The Holy Spirit moves people to trace God's plan; such inspiration proves more than the mind can span. Each listening heart is led to find the will of God for humankind. 4 God shall forever reign, ruler of time and space; there, in the midst of life, seen in the human face. We give expression to our creed by love in thought, in word and deed.
