Creator God, we praise you for the grandeur of the universe.  We praise you for the gift of this Earth. We praise you for the land, and we praise you for the seas. We praise you for the great miracle of teeming life on our prolific planet. We praise you for the cycle of growth and for the beauty of bursting blooms in the Spring time. We praise you green growth of summer and for the holy harvest in the Fall. We praise you for the infinity of different creatures on the land and in the sea, each unique in its own way, each fitting into the complex ecosystems you have gifted us with, each dependent on each other and the whole. We praise you, our Creator. Grace us with a sense of our responsibilities to preserve and protect your precious gift, This Garden, this Earth. We praise you, Creator God, and we offer you our hearts and hands for the preservation of your Creation. |
