Creator God, Creating Still

Representative Text

1 Creator God, creating still,
by will and word and deed,
create a new humanity
to meet the present need.

2 Redeemer God, redeeming still,
with overflowing grace,
pour out your love on us; through us,
make this a holy place.

3 Sustainer God, sustaining still,
with strength for every day,
empow'r us now to do your will.
Correct us when we stray.

4 Great Trinity, for this new day
we need your presence still.
Create, redeem, sustain us now
to do your work and will.
