Threatened Species (CGI)
This seems to me the sort of new song we should be singing to The Lord.
O Great Creator, Who Desires.
(Tune: Eternal Father, Strong to Save)
O Great Creator, who desires
that humans should work with the wild,
and weeps when tiny sparrows die,
forgive us when we close our eyes
to grasping greed with single aim
that spoils and kills for short term gain.
Lord, wake us now to recognize
when caring people stand aside
from finding ways to stop the rape
of threatened creatures’ habitats;
your clear command is disobeyed,
with species failing day-by-day.
Lord, help us to change attitudes
and work to challenge such abuse
that linked with trends through climate change
will utterly destroy the range
of species in life’s fragile tree
and make earth sterile, needlessly.
