Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #513 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken
In beliefs we thought secure;
When the spirit in its sickness
Seeks but cannot find a cure:
God is active in the tensions
Of a faith not yet mature.
2 Solar systems, void of meaning,
Freeze the spirit into stone;
Always our researches lead us
To the ultimate Unknown:
Faith must die, or come full circle
To its source in God alone.
3 In the discipline of praying,
When it's hardest to believe;
In the drudgery of caring,
When it's not enough to grieve:
Faith maturing, learns acceptance
Of the insights we receive.
4 God is love; and He redeems us
In the Christ we crucify:
This is God's eternal answer
To the world's eternal why;
May we in this faith maturing
Be content to live and die. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Faith, Trust, Love; Anxiety; Grace of God; God Works in/for believer Languages: English Tune Title: JULION
