Large gifts supporting everything that lives.
Forgive our spoiling and abuse of them.
Help us renew the face of the earth.
2 Thank you, God, for minerals and ores,
The basis of all building, wealth, and speed.
Forgive our reckless plundering and waste.
Help us renew the face of the earth.
3 Thank you, God, for priceless energy,
Stored in each atom, gathered from the sun.
Forgive our greed and carelessness of power.
Help us renew the face of the earth.
4 Thank you, God, for weaving nature's life
Into a seamless robe, a fragile whole.
Forgive our haste that tampers unaware.
Help us renew the face of the earth.
5 Thank you, God, for making planet earth
a home for us and ages yet unborn.
Help us to share, consider, save, and store.
Come and renew the face of the earth.
