1 God is One, unique and holy,
endless dance of love and light,
only source of mind and body,
star-cloud, atom, day and night:
everything that is or could be
tells God's anguish and delight.

2 God is Oneness by Communion:
never single or alone,
all togetherness, including Friendship, family, and home
common mind and shared agreement,
common loaf and sung Shalom.

3 God is One through desolation:
Blindness, treason, blood and gall;
One, though torn by separation
in the Christ's forsaken call,
One through death and resurrection,
One in Spirit, One for all.

Author: Brian Wren
