Description
Before the One who made the universe
Where moons and planets, galaxies and stars
Revolve and move with God's directing force,
While here on earth the nations make their wars
We come to seek the pathways of your love
In every power by which we live and move.
Beside the Spirit God has sent to guide
Our lives as much as planets in their course -
The Spirit who has breathed and groaned and sighed
To form a world in freedom from death's curse -
While nations deal in death and war and greed
We pray to see the Spirit's way succeed.
Because the Son has lived the loving way;
Has followed where God's loving Spirit led,
Has made through death a path to God's new day
We long to see the powerful words he said
Come true among the nations, that their wars
Might end and peace alone become their course.
Around the world in every lightless place
Are witnesses to all that God has made
By Christ, whose Spirit holds the Universe,
Who've sung and worked and longed and loved and prayed
In all the nations, waiting for His Day -
We'll sing like them and long and work and pray.
