Prayer For Creation
VERSE 1
O,
Creator of the cosmos, we present our hearts in prayer.
We are
awestruck by your glory, which surrounds us everywhere.
From the
birdsong of the morning to a stormy sky at night,
You
reveal yourself in Nature, in its gentleness and might.
VERSE 2
Through
each rainbow that you send us you renew your covenant
With the
earth and all life on it, telling us of your intent
That
each living thing should flourish, in its own way, in its place.
You call
us to new awareness of our neighbors and their space.
VERSE 3
In our
eagerness to prosper, we have ravaged what was good.
Using
more than what was needed, taking everything we could.
We have
changed the gentle order you intended for the earth.
Now we
humbly ask the wisdom to be part of its re-birth.
VERSE 4
We seek
mercy, we seek vision, and the courage we will need
As we
work to help the victims of the sins of human greed.
By our
choices, in our actions, may we be part of your plans.
Help us
gently till the Garden you’ve entrusted to our hands.
VERSE 5
Finding
strength in common purpose, may your faithful people be
Voices
for a new perspective, leaders in simplicity.
Give us
guidance, O, Creator. Give us power to achieve
True
compassion for Creation as the legacy we leave.
