Wounded Clay

 

Sun-draped trees stretch toward your hand.

The river knows its way to you.

The bluffs rise up to frame your sky.

The wind proclaims your love is true.

 

Refrain

You sustain the weary with a word,

climb beside us on the uphill way,

speak peace into our anxious hearts,

breathe life into this wounded clay.

 

Sorrow softens at your voice.

Anger’s held in your embrace.

Fear’s frightful grip loses its strength.

Shame falters in the light of grace. Refrain

 

Raise us up to bring your life.

Lift us up to share your peace.

On this winding trail we trust

you will make war and worry cease. Refrain
