I thought I'd offer this up again for Trinity Sunday. Tune: Morning Has Broken.
God of Creation
Gentle life-giver
Present at birth, and
all through our days
Author of sunrise
Song in the night sky
Here in this place, we
offer our praise
Jesus, Companion
teacher and healer
friend of the grieving,
suffering, the poor
Stand with your people
whisper among us
promise of mercy
goodness for all
Spirit of Comfort
blow through Creation
stir up new life, breathe
peace through our world
Healer of hearts, and
hope for tomorrow
weave all our sorrows
into new dawn
Here we give thanks for
life in its fullness
blessings received
your gifts to us all
Make us a people
filled with compassion
selflessly giving
serving your world
Make sure you break the lines as shown above or the metre doesnt work. Trust me.

You need a few full stops, I think, for the congregation to breathe anfd for poetic clarity. But I do like the text.

Hi Craig,
I like the words and the theming in each verse.
