Psalm 89

God everywhere I look I see your love at work.
You have created a beautiful, interconnected home for us.
You have given us all that we need;
not just to survive but to thrive!

You have offered your marvelous works into our care.
You inspired us to pass down the wisdom and knowledge
needed to care for the earth and for each other,
from generation to generation.

Let all of creations sing your praises.
Let your praises shine through the brilliant colours of the sunrise.
Let your praises sing out in the call of the birds soaring on the wind.
Let your praises whisper in the gentle bubbling of a cool stream.
Let your praises be heard in our joy that is inspired by your creation.

You have sent us prophets and scriptures
so that we could know you more fully.
And when we were still struggling to hear your message of love
you sent us Jesus to show us the way.

But we are still lost.
We still bicker and fight.
We still hoard resources.
We corrupt your word to suit our own purposes.
We have lost sight of your message of love.

We need you now, O God,
to show us the way once again.
Do not be angry with us
and hide yourself away.
Awaken your spirit in the hearts of all your people,
so we may know your unending love!
