devotion to the earth,
to hold in high regard
all life that comes to birth,
we need, O God, the will to find
the good you had of old in mind.
2 Renew our minds to choose
the things that matter most,
our hearts to long for truth
till pride-of-self is lost.
For every challenge that we face,
we need your guidance and your grace.
3 Let love from day to day
be yardstick, rule and norm,
and let our lives portray
your word in human form.
Now come with us that we may have
your wits about us where we live. Topics: Children and Youth Mission; Church Body of Christ; Ecology / Environment; God Guide; Love; One Life in Christ Mission; Renewal / Revival; Rural Life / Rogation Sunday; Stewardship Used With Tune: LODWICK
