Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:33 Lyrics: 1 Unbounded Spirit, breath of God,
refreshing water, cleansing flame,
we give allegiance, through 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 all the hopeless 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 every growing skill,
on every action, every vow,
the living name of Jesus Christ,
beginning here, beginning now. Topics: Response; Holy Spirit; Light; Teaching Used With Tune: PARTRIDGE
