Creating God, Your Fingers Trace

Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, 1934- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Creating God, your fingers trace the bold designs of farthest space; let sun and moon and stars and light and what lies hidden praise your might. 2 Sustaining God, your hands uphold earth's mysteries known or yet untold; let water's fragile blend with air, enabling life, proclaim your care. 3 Redeeming God, your arms embrace all now despised for creed or race; let peace, descending like a dove, make known on earth your healing love. 4 Indwelling God, your gospel claims one family with a billion names; let every life be touched by grace until we praise you face to face.

Alleluia! 4 With deepest joy our voice we raise and sing our grateful song of praise; our brother, flesh and bone and blood, is Lord and King, our highest good! Alleluia! 5 He soon will bring us near his throne; O brother Jesus, help your own to firmly trust that we will be your own through all eternity. Alleluia!
