Every creature on this planet,
Every blade that grows from earth,
All that live in mighty waters
Are imbued with holy worth.
O Creator of all living, all creation seeks new birth.
O Creator of all living, all creation seeks new birth.
Though you call us to be stewards
Of your good, created world,
Far too often we have failed her
And our greed against her hurled.
O Creator of all living, let your healing be unfurled.
O Creator of all living, let your healing be unfurled.
Give us hearts of true repentance,
Gives us eyes to see the need;
Give us minds to change our living
So your creatures might be freed.
O Creator of all living, help us change in word and deed.
O Creator of all living, help us change in word and deed.
Show us how you love creation,
Show us how we are a part.
Show us how to make our wrong right,
Show us how to make a start.
O Creator of all living, place this call within our heart.
O Creator of all living, place this call within our heart.
