Touch the Earth Lightly
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 5.5.10 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Touch the earth lightly,
use the earth gently,
nourish the life of the world in our care:
gift of great wonder,
ours to surrender,
trust for the children tomorrow will bear.
2 We who endanger,
who create hunger,
agents of death for all creatures that live,
we who would foster
clouds of disaster--
God of our planet, forestall and forgive!
3 Let there be greening,
birth from the burning,
water that blesses and air that is sweet,
health in God's garden,
hope in God's children,
regeneration that peace will complete.
4 God of all living,
God of all loving,
God of the seedling, the snow and the sun,
teach us, deflect us,
Christ reconnect us,
using us gently, and making us one. Topics: God's World Care of the Earth; Care of the Earth; Hunger; Unity of Creation Used With Tune: TENDERNESS

O God, We Bear the Imprint of Your Face
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, we bear the imprint of your face:
the colors of our skin are your design,
and what we have of beauty in our race
as man or woman, you alone define,
who stretched a living fabric on our frame
and gave to each a language and a name.
2 Where we are torn and pulled apart by hate
because our race, our skin is not the same,
while we are judged unequal by the state
and victims made because we own our name,
humanity reduced to little worth,
dishonored is Your living face on earth.
3 O God, we share the image of your Son
whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin,
in his humanity we find our own,
and in his family our proper kin:
Christ is the brother we still crucify,
his love the language we must learn, or die. Topics: God's World Dignity and Equality; Dignity and Equality; God: Image; Penitence Used With Tune: RAUMATI BEACH
