The Turning of the Wind

God is in the turning of the wind A dynamic flowing thing Endlessly creating God is the renewing of the earth The holiness of death Transforming into new birth God is in the miracle of growth The wrestling after truth The struggle to maturity God is in the washing of the rain The pouring out of grace A gift entrusted to you and me In hope and joy Justice and life We find you, we find you In peace and strength Faithfulness and love We find you, we find you God is in the path of suffering And with those who share the pain In tears of solidarity God is in the people who resist Those who lead and swell the ranks Speaking truth to authority God is in the blessedness of rest When activity has ceased And we know that we need nothing God is in the company of friends The sharing of our bread In inclusive hospitality In hope and joy Justice and life We find you, we find you In peace and strength Faithfulness and love We find you, we find you
