MOTHER EARTH IN WHOSE GARDEN WE DWELL,

HOW BEAUTIFUL IS YOUR LOVING FACE.

YOU DESIRE OUR BLOSSOMS

AND THE FRUIT OF THE VINE:

WE’RE MADE IN YOUR IMAGE & GRACE

LET OUR FLOWERED GARDEN REFLECT WHO YOU ARE,

YOUR PASSION FOR WHOLENESS IN LIFE,

GIVING US GOLDEN SUN

AND THE WATER WE NEED

TO BRING US TO FULLNESS OF LIFE,

HEAL OUR WOUNDS FROM THE SEASONS OF PAIN,

TOUCHING THE ROOTS DEEP WITHIN

AND PRUNING THE BRANCHES

LONG WITHERED AND DEAD,

THE ONES THAT NO LONGER GIVE YOU PRAISE.

CLEANSE US BELOVED WITH YOUR GENTLE RAINS,

YOUR LOVE PLANTED FIRM IN OUR EARTH,

MAKING FERTILE IN

US YOUR JUSTICE AND PEACE,

BRING YOUR BEAUTY TO BIRTH,

BRING YOUR BEAUTY TO BIRTH.

FOR YOU ARE THE GOD WHO HAS CALLED US TO LIFE

WHO UNFOLDS EACH BRAND NEW DAY,

MAY OUR BEING GIVE GLORY TO YOU MOTHER GOD,

YOUR GARDEN IS SINGING YOUR PRAISE

YOUR GARDEN IS SINGING YOUR PRAISE.
