Creativity (Vol 4 No 47)

Wonder, myst’ry, awesome splendour

All are here for us to see;

Life, creating life unceasing,

Sings for us a liturgy;

We can join as co-creators

In this thrilling symphony.

In communities affirming

Those who risk and have a go

Much creative skill and talent

Can emerge, begin to flow;

God’s own spirit deep within us

Stirs artistic seeds to grow.

Paint a picture; save some buttons;

Build a house; become a clown;

Cook a tasty meal for others;

Knit a shawl; create a gown;

All can voice God’s loving purpose;

Bring a smile and not a frown.

Grow some natives; foster children;

Engineer a wheel or two;

Plan a railway; play some music;

Preach about a wondrous Jew;

These creative enterprises

Can bring meaning into view.

Taking photos, searching life-lines,

Sharing apples, breathing well

Are some ways we live creation;

Author stories that we tell;

All of life can be our worship

For in God is where we dwell.
