General (Vol. 1)
God's Earth
- We have dimmed the stars,
We have spoiled the stream,
Magnified the gloom,
Horrified the dream:
Yet Your grand creation
Fills us with dismay;
Let us save tomorrow
Through sacrifice today.
- We have walked the moon,
We have scaled the heights,
Smogged the Summer days,
Lit the Winter nights:
Yet Your homely shepherd
Still protects His sheep;
Let us love our neighbour
Through the watch we keep.
- We have lit strange fires,
We have killed the earth,
Children maimed forever,
Babies dead at birth:
Yet Your love protects us
In our disarray;
Let us magnify You
In the words we say.
- We have spanned the globe,
We have shouted loud,
Filmed the last retreat,
Armed the madding crowd:
Yet The Holy Spirit
Quietly imparts;
Let us make a channel
For Her to our hearts.
- We have sent the missiles,
We have learned to clone,
Tortured those we cherished,
Tortured the unknown:
So we need You Father
And Your loving Son
With the Holy Spirit
To (m)end what we have done.
