Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Voices Together #420 (2020) Meter: 5.5.5.4.5.5.5.4 with refrain Scripture: Romans 8:22-28 Refrain First Line: Fresh as the morning Lyrics: 1 God of the Bible,
God in the Gospel,
hope seen in Jesus,
hope yet to come,
you are our center,
daylight or darkness,
freedom or prison,
you are our home.
Refrain:
Fresh as the morning,
sure as the sunrise,
God always faithful,
you do not change.
Fresh as the morning,
sure as the sunrise,
God always faithful,
you do not change.
2 God in our struggles,
God in our hunger,
suffering with us,
taking our part,
still you empow’r us,
mothering Spirit,
feeding, sustaining,
from your own heart. [Refrain]
3 Those without status,
those who are nothing,
you have made royal,
gifted with rights,
chosen as partners,
midwives of justice,
birthing new systems,
lighting new lights. [Refrain]
4 Not by your finger,
not by your anger
will our world order
change in a day,
but by your people,
fearless and faithful,
small paper lanterns,
lighting the way. [Refrain]
5 Hope we must carry,
shining and certain
through all our turmoil,
terror and loss,
bonding us gladly
one to the other,
till our world changes,
facing the cross. [Refrain] Topics: God Faithfulness of; God Feminine Language and Images for; Peace and Justice; Word of God Tune Title: FRESH AS THE MORNING
