Spirit of God
Spirit, creative power,
source of each sun, each star,
Spirit of God.
Brood o’er the waters face,
act with creative grace,
order, chaos replace,
Spirit of God.
Spirit of wind and fire,
source of renewing power,
Spirit of God.
Breathe life where hope has died,
burn up excessive pride,
let us in you abide,
Spirit of God.
Spirit of Jesus Christ,
source of the world’s true life,
Spirit of God.
Come now with risen power,
speak to this very hour,
Your love our world inspire,
Spirit of God.

Lord of All
Lord of all space, all constellations vast
we stand amazed at your creative task.
The stars, the sun, the moon, and our fair earth,
Your glory show in their celestial birth.
Lord of all time, beginning, present, end,
you make the ages, days and nights you send.
You the eternal, Lord of time and space,
come to us now with everlasting grace.
Lord of the earth, our world, our time, our place,
touch every life, make us signs of your grace.
Heal your creation, fire us with your love,
till life on earth reflects your life above.
Lord, of all things we come to worship you,
be now our guide, our friend, in all we do.
And if our way is clouded, or unclear,
help us to know that you are ever near.

Fill Our Sails
Fill our sails, wind of God,
launch us forth upon the sea,
let us take the voyage of life,
face the journey yet to be.
Fill our sails, wind of God,
raise the spray, the salted air,
give direction to our way,
joy, adventure, meets us there!
Fill our sails, wind of God,
as you did in Galilee,
from the fear of earthly storms,
winds, or waves, come set us free.
Fill our sails, wind of God,
brooding, hovering, o’er the deep,
guide us in uncharted seas,
from the rocks, in safety keep.
Fill our sails, wind of God,
breeze of life, be ours today,
Christ our mast, and faith our keel,
wind of God, show us the way.
