Water, the Rain and the Oceans of Time - Louie Gonnie

Great Spirit, whose dry lands thirst, help us to find
the way to refresh your lands.

We pray for your power to refresh your lands.

Great Spirit, whose waters are choked with debris and
pollution, help us to find the way to cleanse your waters.

We pray for your knowledge to find the way to
cleanse the waters.

Great Spirit, whose beautiful earth grows ugly with
misuse, help us to find the way to restore beauty
to your handiwork.

We pray for your strength to restore the beauty
of your handiwork.

Great Spirit, whose creatures are being destroyed,
help us to find a way to replenish them.

We pray for your power to replenish the earth.

Great Spirit, whose gifts to us are being lost in
selfishness and corruption, help us to find the way
to restore our humanity.

We pray for your wisdom to find the way to
restore our humanity.
