Author: Colin A. Gibson Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For the man and for the woman,
for the body and the soul,
for the mind and for the spirit,
for the love that makes us whole;
for the person and the people,
for the many and the few,
for tradition and for custom,
for the fresh and for the new.
2 For the friendship, for the suffering,
for the pleasure and the grief,
for the learning, for the list'ning
for the doubting, and belief;
for the sound and for the silence,
for the labour and the prayer,
for the rock and for the flower,
for the earth and for the air.
3 For the harmony of nations,
for the sounds of many lands,
for the rhythm, for the chanting,
for the language of the hands;
for the richness of the senses
for the color and design,
for the weaving of the pattern,
for the circle and the line.
4 In the dancer and the poet,
in the singer and the song,
in the artist and the actor,
on the flute and on the gong,
we will praise you, great Creator,
light of light and Fire of fire;
make us one and make us many,
your delight is our desire. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Body and Senses; Culture and Creativity; God in Creation and Providence Creator; Human Relationship; Life Celebration of; Music and Dance; Nations; Unity Scripture: Psalm 145 Used With Tune: MAKILING
