As Wind that Dances

From the Boundless Life collection

As wind that dances lightly round the clouds,

As sighs that come from loving’s warm caress,

As rising air that lofts the soaring bird

God’s Spirit can empower what we express.

 

As cyclones smashing homes and breaking trees,

As fury dwelling in the wildest night,

As healing silence after raging storms

God’s Spirit can destroy and then unite.

 

As air that brings refreshing falls of rain

Yet turns to dust each arid part of earth,

As calm within both sunset hues and dawn

God’s Spirit comes as dying and as birth.

 

If we embrace the ebb and flow of life

With all the changes living can entail,

Our hearts, O God, will fill with joyful praise,

Our minds accept each truth which you unveil.
