O GOD WHO SHAPED CREATION O God who shaped creation At earth's chaotic dawn Your Word of power was spoken And lo! the dark was gone You framed us in Your image You brought us into birth You blessed our infant footsteps And shared Your splendoured earth O God, with pain and anguish A mother sees her child Embark on dead-end pathways Alluring, but defiled So too Your heart is broken When hate and lust increase When worlds You birthed and nurtured Spurn ways that lead to peace Although Your heart is broken When people scorn Your ways You never cease Your searching through evil's darksome maze And when we cease our running Your joys, O God abound Like joy of searching woman When treasured coin is found O God, when trinkets tarnish And pleasures lose their charm When, wearied by our wandering We seek Your opened arm With motherlike compassion You share Your warm embrace You set for us a banquet And heal us through Your grace In mercy and compassion Your goodness is revealed With tenderness You touch us And broken hearts are healed You claim us as Your children You strip our prideful shame With freedom born of mercy We bless Your holy name!
