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

Forgive our haste that tampers unaware.
Help us renew the face of the earth.

Help us to share, consider, save, and store.
Come and renew the face of the earth.
