Creation Groans 2

from Lamentation by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

(Romans 8:19-23, Jeremiah 12:4. Genesis 1:27-30)

Earth, on its tender,
weary turning,
prey of the derelict custodians,
stage of a warfare,
long oppressing,
longs for the day of restoration.

All Creation groans -
this the burden of the Hope.
And like children of the Lord,
all Creation groans.

Those who were charged to
care for his nature
now strip its wealth
and we pollute its seas.
And so this hostage sighs in misery,
all that was good now in captivity.

All Creation groans -
this the burden of the Hope.
And like children of the Lord,
all Creation groans.

God will liberate Creation
from its bondage to decay and sin,
bringing it into that very freedom
he is bringing to his children.

All Creation groans -
this the burden of the Hope.
And like children of the Lord,
all Creation groans.

All of Creation, like us, is groaning:
cries like a mother in her labour pains.
We are the first fruits, children adopted,
We are the markers of a coming age.

All Creation groans -
this the burden of the Hope.
And like children of the Lord,
all Creation groans.
