A recording for worship at Brunswick Uniting Church

Community (normal Mix)

Demo of a new song about care for creation, inspired by a re-reading of Job 38-39 and other biblical passages - and by the pressing need for spiritual and economic change if we are to avert climate disaster.
Thanks to Graeme Garrett and Jan Morgan (BUC eco-theologians) for the inspiration...and also Salvatore the seal, whom I saw frolicking in the Yarra just as I was composing this song.
- Shawn Whelan, August 2021

In Spirit We Rise (Rock Mix) - Sheree Anderson

A song of lament for our times. It draws on language from the Hebrew & Christian scriptures, and on traditions from around the world where grieving out loud is encouraged.

Written by Shawn Whelan, recorded by Shawn Whelan (guitar & vocals) and Natalie Sims (violin).

Lyrics:

Why do we listen and fail to hear?
Why do we see and not perceive?
We have turned away, and our heart has grown dull
Heal us, help us to grieve
Heal us, help us to grieve

Why do we listen and fail to hear?
Why do we see and not perceive?
We have turned away, and our heart has grown dull
Heal us, help us believe
Heal us, help us believe
