Strong, Gentle Children
Author: Daniel Charles Damon, 1955- Meter: 5.6.10 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Strong, gentle children,
God made you beautiful,
gave you the wisdom and power you need;
speak in the stillness
all you are longing for;
live out your calling to love and to lead.
2 Strong, hurting children,
angry and terrified,
open the secrets your life has concealed;
though you are wounded,
know you are not to blame;
cry out your story till truth is revealed.
3 Strong, knowing children,
utter your cry aloud,
honor the wisdom God gave you at birth;
speak to your elders
till they have heard your voice;
sing out your vision of healing on earth. Scripture: Joel 2:28-29 Used With Tune: TWILIGHT
Strong, Gentle Children
Shadow and Substance
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Meter: 5.6.10 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shadow and substance,
wonder and mystery,
spellbinding spinner of atoms and earth;
soul of the cosmos,
person and energy,
source of our being, we sing of your worth.
2 We are your image,
formed in community;
sisters and brothers of Adam and Eve.
You gave us colour,
custom and history;
teach us to honour what others receive.
3 Naming the nameless
Spirit of unity,
scanning the heavens for signs of your care;
God of the ages,
give us humility;
guide us to mystical union in prayer. Topics: Praise; Darkness; Mystery Scripture: Genesis 1:6-27 Used With Tune: TWILIGHT
