(To listen to just a snippet of this hymn, click here)


God of the sparrow, God of the whale, God of the swirling stars.
How does the creature say Awe?
How does the creature say Praise?

God of the earthquake, God of the storm, God of the trumpet blast.
How does the creature cry Woe?
How does the creature cry Save?

God of the rainbow, God of the cross, God of the empty grave.
How does the creature say Grace?
How does the creature say Thanks?

God of the hungry, God of the sick, God of the prodigal.
How does the creature say Care?
How does the creature say Life?

God of the neighbor, God of the foe, God of the pruning hook.
How does the creature say Love?
How does the creature say Peace?

God of the ages, God near at hand, God of the loving heart.
How do your children say Joy?
How do your children say Home?

Day 55. Dollar 55. Pound 55. As we marvel at the wonders of creation, we give thanks for the Hunger Relief Community of 9.10.11 and for the Care and Life you value through your support of Metro CareRing.
