Here's the affirmation for Sunday, written on the bus down from Oban this afternoon. Not quite complete I think but on it's way. Maybe trying to hard with it but the idea is that the italics are sing (if you know a good tune then let me know, or if you'd like to write one...) and chidlren will lead some actions during the singing each time (not the same words are used at the beginning of each for that purpose. Theoretically it ought to allow everyone to engage at some level.
Additions, suggestions, tunes and edits all welcome.
Holy Spirit:
creation’s colour palette
and chaos’ mistress,
luscious and abundant energy of heaven,
enlivening dry bones to dance,
with the vibrancy of life,
in God’s own dance of resurrection.
As flame she clears the wasteland,
as water she runs in the earth
as wind she blows through the desert
the Spirit makes God a new day
Holy Spirit:
disturber of the world
and catalyst of change
filling us with the energy of heaven
with a call to renew the world
with songs of justice and words of peace
God’s own word, of resurrection
With flame she lights a passion
with water she soaks our birth
with wind she blows a new order
the Spirit makes God a new day
Holy Spirit:
shaper of the future
interrupting our now
burning through all that is corrupt
with a revelation of justice
filling the old and young with new vision and dreams
God’s own dream, of resurrection
With flame she burns a candle
with water she quenches our thirst
with wind she shakes out our dryness
the Spirit makes God a new day
