Shalom

Creator spirit heal this land
She’s wounded now by human hands
We’ve scarred the hills, removed the trees
Destroyed the air and killed the seas
We hear her pain; her weeping soul
With love and care she will be whole.

We know that much is very wrong
The little birds have lost their song
The oceans churn with toxic waste
And mountain streams have lost their taste
We hear her pain; her weeping soul
With love and care she will be whole

As glaciers melt and waters rise
The ‘Pollies’ play with truth and lies
And while they sing their empty songs
Her Island homes will soon be gone.
We hear her pain; her weeping soul
With love and care she will be whole

Creator spirit heal this place
Inspire in us the love and grace
That this land needs to live again
The soothing touch of gentle rain
We hear her pain; her weeping soul
With love and care she will be whole

The hymn formed part of the Sunday church service on 20 May 2018. The topic was healing a specifically Shalom – Wholeness.
