With a word, you formed all beings, filling land, air, and sea; human creatures, in your image, by your sovereign, "Let there be." 2 With a word, you raised up prophets, for a parched and yearning earth, bringing hope to thirsty people with the promise of new birth. With a word you fired their visions with the pow'r of your dreams; "Let my justice roll like waters; and my peace, like flowing streams." 3 With a Word, you came among us, born in flesh and full of grace. In the body of Christ Jesus, you revealed your human face. With his Word, you still inspire us for the work that we do: "Love and live for one another, as I lived and died for you."

How Can We Name a Love

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #2 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Feminine Images Lyrics: 1 How can we name a Love that wakens heart and mind, indwelling all we know or think or do or seek or find? Within our daily world, in every human face, Love's echoes sound and God is found, hid in the commonplace. 2 If we awoke to life upheld by loving care that asked no great reward but firm, assured, was simply there, we can, with parents' names, describe, and thus adore, Love unconfined, our Father kind, our Mother strong and sure. 3 When people share a task, and strength and skills unite in projects old or new, to make or do with shared delight, our Friend and Partner's will is better understood, that all should share, create, and care, and know that life is good. 4 So in a hundred names, each day we all can meet a presence, sensed and shown at work, at home, or in the street. Yet names and titles all shine in a brighter sun: in Christ alone is full Love grown and life and hope begun. Scripture: Romans 5:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: ICH HALTE TREULICH STILL
