"Restless Weaver" is a hymn from the Disciples of Christ - Chalice Hymnal
The lyrics were composed by Ola Irene Cricket Harrison in 1988 and are sung to the tune "Beach Spring".
Restless Weaver, ever spinning threads of justice and shalom;
Dreaming patterns of creation where all creatures find a home;
Gathering up life’s varied fibers – every texture, every hue:
Grant us your creative vision, with us weave your world anew.
Where earth’s fragile web is raveling, help us mend each broken strand.
Bless our urgent, bold endeavors cleansing water, air, and land.
Through the Spirit’s inspiration – offering health where once was pain –
Strengthen us to be the stewards of your world knit whole again.
When our violent lust for power ends in lives abused and torn,
From compassion’s sturdy fabric fashion hope and trust reborn.
Where injustice rules as tyrant, give us courage, God, to dare
Live our dreams of transformation. Make our lives incarnate prayer.
Restless Weaver, still conceiving new life – now and yet to be –
Binding all your vast creation in one living tapestry:
You have called us to be weavers. Let your love guide all we do.
With your Reign of Peace our pattern, we will weave your world anew.
