All
As glistening rivers
Flow to millpond-still seas
Carry us with your creation LordAs cool spring rains pour down,
Hydrating fledgling life
Refresh us with your creation LordAs seeds buried in dark
Reach toward cyan skies
Awaken us with your creation LordAs dandelions bring
Life to grey pavement cracks
Re-wild us with your creation LordAs crocuses bloom bright
Amethyst, egg-yolk, snow
Colour us with your creation LordAs wild garlic perfumes
Dusk walks and pasta bowls
Nourish us with your creation LordO God,
We thank you for the glory
Of your creation in spring
Help us to learn the lessons
You reveal to us in this seasonIn your holy name,
Amen -

AllAs sunshine breaks through cloud
And cheeks become freckled
Shine on us with your creation, LordAs toes are freed from shoes
To walk on grassy paths
Liberate us with your creation, LordAs tents become new homes
And fires gently crackle
Welcome us with your creation, LordAs sunflowers stretch up
And roses scent the air
Serenade us with your creation, LordAs saltwater splashes
Cooling too-warm bodies
Sooth us with your creation, LordAs plates are piled high
With craved-for picnic treats
Cheer us with your creation, LordO God,
We thank you for the glory
Of your creation in summer
Help us to learn the lessons
You reveal to us in this seasonIn your holy name,
Amen -
Reader
AllAs the waves crash harder
And the wind howls louder
Energise us with your creation, LordAs the sycamore seed
Spins possibilities
Inspire us with your creation, LordAs the days take their rest
And the dark nights increase
Comfort us with your creation, LordAs the leaves burn amber,
Cinnamon and scarlet
Delight us with your creation, LordAs the sky fills at dusk
And starlings murmarate
Move us with your creation, LordAs the pumpkin soup boils
And the apple pie bakes
Sustain us with your creation, LordO God,
We thank you for the glory
Of your creation in autumn
Help us to learn the lessons
You reveal to us in this seasonIn your holy name,
Amen -
Reader
AllAs bright snowflakes cover
Street, neighbourhood and town
Transform us with your creation, LordAs the candle flickers
And the fire crackles
Illuminate us with your creation, LordAs the puddle freezes
And the cold earth hardens
Strengthen us with your creation, LordAs we inhale cool air,
Exhale warm misty clouds
Fill us with your creation, LordAs the wool is knitted
And the soft scarf cocoons
Embrace us with your creation, LordAs the mince pie is warmed
And the mulled wine simmers
Warm us with your creation, LordO God,
We thank you for the glory
Of your creation in winter
Help us to learn the lessons
You reveal to us in this seasonIn your holy name,
Amen
