God of Holy Dreaming

God of holy Dreaming  

Great Creator Spirit  

From the dawn of creation you have given your children  

The good things of Mother Earth  

You spoke and the gum tree grew  

In the vast deserts and dense forests, in the cities,  

At the water’s edge, creation sings your praise.  

Your presence endures as the rock at the heart of our land.  

When Jesus hung on the tree  

You heard the cries of all Your people  

And became one with Your wounded ones  

The convicts, the hunted and the dispossessed.  

The sunrise of Your Son  

Coloured the earth anew  

And bathed it in glorious hope.  

In Jesus we have been reconciled to You,  

To each other and to Your whole creation.  

Lead us on Great Spirit  

As we gather at this special place  

Located on land where ancestors of long ago  

Gathered for work, play and praise.  

Enable us to walk together in trust from the hurt of the past  

Into the full day which has dawned in Jesus Christ.  

Amen
