GOD OF THE SPARROW GOD OF THE WHALE

Istock image of a humpback breaching under an aurora.

I'll be honest my tap dancing on the line is getting further and futher into what I guess you would call paganism. I'm not sure what I call it. And occaisionally I run into something like this and I get this little tug back. From the Episcopalian Hymn Book number 307.

“God shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:4) God of the pruning hook indeed

Version of the hymn on YouTube. 

 1. 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

2. 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

3. 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

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

5. God of the neighbour
God of the foe
God of the pruning hook
How does the creature say Love
How does the creature say Peace

6. 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
