Praise to you, O God, source of all waters.
For vast oceans, flowing rivers, and gentle rains we give you
thanks. For the waters of the deep that give us life, we give you
thanks.
Forgive our careless waste and polluting ways.
Help us to cleanse, conserve, and share; teach us to care for the
gift of water.
Come and heal your people. Come and heal the waters.


Praise to you, O God, creator of the dry land. For mighty
mountains, rolling hills, and fertile prairies we give you thanks.
Forgive our wanton greed and violent ways.
Help us to sow, till, and harvest with care; teach us to live gently
on the land. Come and heal your people. Come and heal the land.


Praise to you, O God, breath of life and maker of air.
For wind and wave, breath and breeze, light and life we give you
thanks.
Forgive our heedless acts and selfish ways.
Help us to live justly, simply, and wisely; teach us to care for the
gift of air.  Come and heal your people. Come and heal the air.


Praise to you, O God, Lord and Giver of Life.
Your love sustains planet earth and by your hand all things living
are fed.
Forgive our neglect and abuse of your gifts.
Help us to serve, defend and restore your creation.
Help us care for your people. Help us care for the earth.
Amen.
