Come on Lord, shake us up...a nudge is not enough any more,
knock some sense into us, today and every day.
Plant seeds of wisdom into our hearts and minds,
that do not go away but make us stop, reflect,
despair, stir up our emotions so much that we need to act,
that we may care more for our Earth.
Stop our complacency, and putting the blame on others,
inspire us to challenge, protest, lament, that it might
awaken us to renewed enthusiasm to do what we can
to protect, nurture and celebrate our love for all of creation,
that once again, it may sing of Your Glory.
Amen
