Patterns of life were spun by that creative word. Of God's intention, love and care we are with growing trust aware. 2 Love came to earth in Christ, our common life to share, choosing to be the least, willing a cross to bear. He died, he rose, that we might live and all our love, responding, give. 3 The Holy Spirit moves people to trace God's plan; such inspiration proves more than the mind can span. Each listening heart is led to find the will of God for humankind. 4 God shall forever reign, ruler of time and space; there, in the midst of life, seen in the human face. We give expression to our creed by love in thought, in word and deed. Used With Tune: LITTLE CORNARD

Imprisoned in systems, you long to be free. We see you, O Jesus, still bearing your tree. 3 We hear you, O Man [Christ], in agony cry. For freedom you march, in riots you die. Your face in the papers we read and we see. The tree must be planted by human decree. 4 You choose to be made at one with the earth; the dark of the grave prepares for your birth. Your death is your rising, creative your word: the tree springs to life and our hope is restored. Used With Tune: LIFE
