Cosmic Praise
COME LET US THINK LIKE MOUNTAIN ROCKS

Tune:COSMIC PRAISE
Music:Geri Zanon

1. Come let us think like mountain rocks,
   Come breathe the song of scented breeze,
   Come join the atoms’ quantum dance,
   Come weep with all the fallen trees.
   REFRAIN
   

2. O let us pulse like surging waves,
   Or flow as clear and running streams,
   Explore the throbbing heart of Earth
   And dream the plants’ and creatures’ dreams.
   REFRAIN
   

3. When liveliness evades our grasp,
   When love grows weak and fears grow strong,
   We still can feel the pulse of breath
   And join once more in Nature’s song.
   REFRAIN
   

4. With joyful zest we raise God’s psalm,
   The muse of past and present now,
   The chant of fire that births new life,
   The song of soil and root and bough.
   REFRAIN
   

REFRAIN:
Life’s many forms unite as one;
This earth is filled with sacredness.
All praise exalts the Cosmic God
Who dwells in mystic holiness.

William (Bill) Livingstone Wallace is a retired New Zealand Methodist Minister and one of our most prolific contributors. Bill says that his work springs from communicating with the fire in his gut and his observation of both the internal and external aspects of the Cosmos. Since an early age, he has been both sympathetic to and critical of the church, announcing at the age of 13 his belief in evolution. In his youth, he struggled with the disconnection between art and spirituality in his own and other denominations and with the way in which all of the liturgies prior to the sermon were regarded as preliminaries and longer sermons were viewed as superior to more concise ones.

He holds a B.A. in philosophy and a Dip. Ed. and is the author of nine published collections of his hymns as well as other resources on our website. His aim is to help people be empowered by the divine within them and the Cosmos and to work to overthrow the forces of personal and institutional greed which destroy both the ecosystem and human society.
