God of the galaxies spinning in space, God of the smallest seed, our living source: yours is the gift of this beautiful place— Refrain: Let us care for your garden and honor the earth. Careless and covetous, gross are our greeds taking the riches the garden provides, wasting its goodness, forgetting its needs, (Refrain) Forests and rivers are ravaged and die, raped is the land till it bleeds in its clay, silenced the birdsong and plundered the sea— (Refrain) Let there be beauty and let there be air fragrant with peace, never poisoned with fear, freed from the plagues of pollution and war, (Refrain) Life is a holy thing, life is a whole, linking each creature and blessing us all, making connections of body and soul, (Refrain)
