Whatever You Do
ST. DENIO 11.11.11.11 (“Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise”)
Text by Carolyn Gillette
O God of mighty wind and flame who fills your church with power,
We gather here in Jesus' name, to ask your help this hour.
When nature's might seems far too strong and flames are swirling high,
When days bring fear and nights are long, Lord, hear your people's cry.
