TRINITY (Cutts)
God Is One, Unique and Holy
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is One, unique and holy,
Endless dance of love and light;
Only source of mind and body,
Star-cloud, atom, day and night:
Everything that is or could be
Tells God's anguish and delight.
2 God is Oneness by Communion,
Never single or alone;
All togetherness, including
Friendship, family, and home,
Common mind and shared agreement,
Common loaf and sung Shalom.
3 God is One through desolation:
Blindness, treason, blood and gall;
One, though torn by separation
In the Christ's forsaken call;
One through death and resurrection;
One in Spirit, One for all.
