Sing My Song Backwards

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #334 (1995) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Church at Worship Proclamation of the Gospel; God's Church The Church at Worship: Proclamation of the Gospel First Line: Sing my song backwards from end to beginning Lyrics: 1 Sing my song backwards from end to beginning, Friday to Monday, from dying to birth. Nothing is altered, but hope changes everything: sing "Resurrection!" and "Peace upon Earth!" 2 Whisper a hope through shame and the agony, horror and emptiness, darker than night; visit the wounds, and the failure of Calvary: sing "Resurrection!" and bathe them in light. 3 Gather the bones and the sinews of memory – healings and parables, laughter and strife, joy with the outcasts and love for the enemy – breathe "Resurrection!" and dance them to life! 4 Stretch out a rainbow from cross to nativity. Deck out the stable with shepherds and kings, angels and miracles, glory and poetry – Sing my song backwards, till all the world sings! Languages: English Tune Title: HILARY

In Water We Grow

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #375 (1995) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: The Church at Worship Baptism; God's Church The Church at Worship: Baptism First Line: In water we grow, secure in the womb Lyrics: 1 In water we grow, secure in the womb, and speechlessly know love's safety and room. Baptizing and blessing we publish for good the freeing, caressing safe-keeping of God. 2 In water we wash: the dirt of each day, its trouble and rush are carried away. In Christ re-created by love's cleansing art, self-will and self-hatred dissolve and depart. 3 In water we dive, and cannot draw breath, then surface alive, rebounding from death. Our old self goes under, in Christ dead and drowned. We rise, washed in wonder, by love clad and crowned. 4 In water we dwell, for by its deep flow through bloodstream and cell, we live, think, and grow. Praise God, love outflowing, whose well of new birth baptizes our knowing, and waters the earth. Languages: English Tune Title: STANLEY BEACH
