Verse 1
O God who gives us life and breath
Who shapes us in the womb
Who guards our lives from birth to death
Then leads us from the tomb
Deliver us from fears
That kill the life we have from You
Help us to know Your Spirit
Still is making all things new
Verse 2
O God who calls your people out
To venture and to dare
To plumb the bleak abyss of doubt
And find You even there
When we despair in wandering
Through wastes of empty lies
Refresh is with the living spring
Of hope that never dies
Verse 3
O God of covenant and law
Revealed in cloud and flame
Your mighty deeds evoke our awe
We dare not speak You Name
Yet we by faith are drawn to You
And will Your people prove
As on our hearts You writ anew
The covenant of love
