Teach us to walk the soft earth as relatives.
To all that live sweeten our hearts and fill
us with light. Give
us the strength to understand
And eyes to see. Help
us for without you
We are nothing.
Hetchetu Aloh! So it is forever!
Black Elk When the Tree Flowered
By John G Niehardt
Scripture
O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the
earth.
Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation
from day to day.
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all
people.
For the Lord is
great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared
above all gods. Psalms
96:1-4 KJV
Everclear "This Land Is Your Land"
"This Land Is Your Land"
[Chorus:]
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
[Chorus]
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
[Chorus]
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
[Chorus]
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
[Chorus]
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
[Chorus 2x]
Sentence Prayer
Creator and Savior, we have:
exploited earth for our selfish ends
turned our backs on the cycles of life
and forgotten we are your stewards.
Now soils become barren
Air and water become unclean
Species disappear,
and humans are diminished.
In penitence we come to you.
Silence
God, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
God, have mercy.
