God is our refuge and strength,
Ever present in times of need.
Though the world may feel like it is crumbling around you,
God is there to help us build it back up.
Though the world seems lost and divided;
Corrupted by greed, selfishness, and anger,
God is always with us inviting us to a better way.
God is like a gentle stream nourishing all it its path,
Over time it will change the landscape, carving a deeper path.
So to will God make big changes in our world,
With time and a source to feed it;
Goodness and love can take hold in this world!
Look at all the amazing work God has already done in the world!
God has gifted us with creation that feeds us and teaches us.
God calls us into communities so we can support and care for one another.
God invites us to explore God’s Holy Mystery inviting us to creativity and growth.
Let us all sing God’s praises!
Let all of creation sing God’s praises!
