There is no shortage of selfishness and greed in this world,
Of people who take so much more than what they need,
Leaving little or nothing for others.
There are people who “game the system”;
Working only for their own benefit,
With little or no concern for those around them.
But through you unending love, O God,
You offer us a better way.
You teach us that there is enough for all,
And that there is great joy in sharing with our friends and neighbours.
Through your love we create communities;
Communities that help us know…
We are not alone!
Help everyone to know your love, O God;
To hear your message of unity and love
in words they can understand,
So that we may see and end to corruption and greed,
And live our lives surrounded by your love!
