Song Of Sky 

Lord of suns and stars exploding 
Galaxies and swirling skies, 
Where you chose to show your glory 
Took the heavens by surprise. 
Lord of solar winds and wisdom, 
Super stars that blow our mind, 
Choosing such a fragile planet 
Hardly seems a grand design. 

On this piece of stardust swirling, 
On this spinning spot in space, 
Life itself was born like music, 
When you showed your hidden face. 
What an honour to be chosen, 
Silent planet blue and green, 
Filled with glory, grace, and gardens, 
Where the breath of God is seen. 

What is even more amazing 
We have poisoned Earth like fools. 
Help us change our way of living, 
Love the Earth and love her rules. 
Help us stem the tide of traders 
Leaving Earth an empty store; 
Join us now Creator Spirit, 
Come renew your Earth once more.

Sung to the tune usually used for ‘Glorious things of thee are spoken’

Creator God, 

Creator God, abundant life your mark,
You once poured speech into the formless dark
And from those words sprang forth a living spark
Your inspiration - Awoke creation

Throughout this world, in which we live and move,
All that we sense below, around, above
Displays the imprint of your longing love
Its revelation - Throughout creation.

But yet the earth is fractured, frayed and torn,
Poisoned, polluted, ravaged, scarred and worn
Its treasures plundered and its beauties scorned
Our transformation - Of God’s creation.

From blight and guilt, we cannot walk away
Our will and actions shape the world today
And ours the greed, insisting on its way,
Whose depredations - Despoil creation.

Come Holy Spirit, challenge mind and heart!
Inspire our living so that we will start
To make those choices which may yet impart
Love’s liberation  - To your creation.

We pledge to touch all things with holy care
Until your coming Kingdom ends despair
Then all the world will witness and will share
The jubilation - Of healed creation.
