O Keeper of the Universe,
I’m struggling down here,
Or wherever it is that I am
Because my family is hungry
And my desires grow for things that don’t seem real.
So I’m just telling you, to make sure that you know
Because if you do then maybe I’ll
Be ok.
I feel your hand now on my head
While you listen to me groan,
And I know.
I know you’re there,
And I know you know I’m here.
O King of Everything,
Don’t overlook me now.
For Your kingdom’s filled with folk like me,
And we’re the ones who bless you anyhow.
But only through what you give us,
Can we be so empowered
To control the universe,
To cause you to be blessed.
The wheel’s in spin, and we’re on board
Or we’re just watching,
Wondering why we’re sitting still.
O keepers of the forests,
And keepers of the seas,
And keepers of the Earth who keep it whole,
Our blessing is the thing we give
And not what we receive.
O keepers,
Keepers, hear!
Keepers, listen now as still air speaks to us.
It says what we don’t know
In our own voice,
Spoke from us, through us, to our God
The Keeper of the Universe.
