Heaven praise, earth sing

Give glory, praise Gods name 

Bow down, holy ones

Give ear to the Holy One

We listen as you thunder across oceans

We cup ears as you echo around the globe 

We tune in as you whisper through forests

We catch the rhythm as mountains jump like prancing calf’s 

We prick up as wisdom flashes like lightening

as Word shakes the land 

as creation sings glory. 

May you rule over the waters

May you rule over all creation

May your blessing strengthen your people 

May your blessing sing with peace

May mercy shower upon the earth

May we know forgiveness, 

for misdeeds and inaction

for hate-speak and trash-talk

for shit-holes and holy crap

for bare-forests and plastic seas

for cheap glory and poetic claptrap

Heaven praise , earth sing

Give glory, praise Gods name 

Bow down, Holy ones

Give ear to the Holy One
