1 Creator God, with whom we share the ruling of your world, we ask as we are named creation's heirs make us more willing for our task. 2 For you have blessed all things that live, that run or fly or swim or crawl; but we were destined to receive our stewardship of care for all. 3 All creatures share your gift of breath; on every kind our race depends; like us, they move from birth to death, our servants, helpers, and our friends. 4 So turn us back from acts of wrong, from all unkindness and neglect; reverse the abuses of the strong to right control and true respect. 5 Though now we find your world decayed, enslaved by fear and locked in pain, in Christ creation is remade, all things restored, set free again. 6 O Christ, you shared a cattle stall and rode the path a donkey trod; Redeemer, Servant, Lord of all, all creatures praise you, Lamb of God!
