God of the Sparrow, God of the Whale [The River's Voice]

from Namaste (1997)

God of the sparrow, God of the whale, God of the swirling stars
how does the creature say 'awe'? how does the creature say 'praise'?

God of the earthquake, God of the storm, God of the trumpet blast
how does the creature cry 'woe'? how does the creature cry 'save'?

God of the rainbow, God of the cross, God of the empty grave
how does the creature say 'grace'? how does the creature say 'thanks'?

God of the ages, God near at hand, God of the loving heart
how do your children say 'joy'? how do your children say 'home'?
