Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #435 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Unbounded Spirit, breath of God,
Refreshing water, cleansing flame,
We give allegiance, by Your call,
To Christ, and to no other name.
2 Receive and open for review
The work we do, the word we preach,
And school us, as we teach and learn,
In careful thought and truthful speech.
3 Uncover gently all the ways
We run, resist, rebel, or hide.
Unwrap with love and bathe in light
Our pain, our sadness, and our pride.
4 Assemble, leaven, mix, and knead
Our clashing norms, opposing views,
And bake a loaf of joy and peace
That hungry hearts will not refuse.
5 Inscribe on ev'ry growing skill,
On ev'ry action, ev'ry vow,
The living name of Jesus Christ,
Beginning here, beginning now. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Christian Life, Discipleship; Christian unity; Cleansing; Holy Spirit Renewal Scripture: Romans 8:14 Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM
