Spirit of Creation – Sheet Music

$5.99

This song has a flowing rhythm with a memorable chorus. It picks up the theme of the Spirit groaning in Romans 8 and relates it to the plight of Creation and humanity’s response. We are encouraged to be more aware of the threats to Creation caused by human hands and to seek a new and better way.

Words by Craig Mitchell. Music by Leigh Newton.

Spirit groaning with Creation
crying for her planet’s mess
longing for its transformation
all that’s broken to be blessed

God, hear our cry for all you’ve made
renew your world, show us your way
God, hear our cry for all we’ve marred
transform our lives, change us, we pray

This song is also published in my book “Deeper Water.”

Spirit of Creation is a song of lament and a call to turn around, which is the true meaning of repentance or metanoia. The chorus contrasts what God has made with what we have marred. The song is suitable for the Season of Creation or other worship services with a theme of creation.

A wonderful recording by Leigh Newton features on the lyric video here. Video by Craig Mitchell.
