Hymn: Rethread Your Vision
I have been coming undone by the vilifying of DEI. Not only are these hard won words, values, aspirations, strategies and commitments, they strike me as core to the dream of God, the essence of God’s revelation of themselves. I wrote this poem/hymn reflecting on the Trinity and this trio of words. It might scan to a traditional Gaelic melody, with traditional words by Eleanor Farjeon, made famous in a less traditional rendition by Cat Stevens, “Morning Has Broken”. Blame the Methodists for “connexion”.
Rethread Your Vision
Loved into being, by the Creator,
creatures revealing beauty divine.
Precious your textures, exquisite your colours,
diverse beyond measure, bold your design.
Christ interrupting, all our injustice,
bold love disrupting failures to care.
Seeking our witness, equity flowering,
daring within us, redress and repair.
Spirit unfolding, forging connexions,
deep in belonging, each find their place.
Risking inclusion, mutually transforming,
beloved perfusion, abundant in grace.
Torn and divided, forgetting your promise,
needing reminded just whose we are.
Rethread your vision, restore our fabric
Weaver Christ risen, mending us all.
