“We Come With Questions”
Tune: LOBE DEN HERREN 14.14.4.7.8 (“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2022
Music: Erneuerten Gesangbuch, 1665
We come with questions assuming that there will be answers
Setting the world in an order that obeys our grammar
We want to know where Spirit’s river will flow
Frustrated by her meanders
Here is the mystery we claim as the followers of Jesus:
Christ has died, Christ is raised, Christ daily comes to redeem us
Grace free, not earned, whether or not we deserve
God works beyond rules and boundaries
God help us live into mystery beyond comprehension
Quiet our minds always clamoring for some direction
Give us your peace with all that we can’t perceive
Holding us within the tension ©
