Скачать или смотреть Caring for God's Beloved Creation | Steve Pitkanen + Kristine Mannion | A Hymn for St. Mark's

Here is a hymn written for the Lenten Season at St.Mark's Anglican/Lutheran Church in Midland. We were to add a verse each week until all five might be performed with choir on Palm Sunday. However, the Covid19 virus forced us to cancel those plans, so I recorded it here with Kristine and I singing all the choir parts. Stay safe everyone.

1. In the beginning, everything was new.
Life was unbounded, and Your garden grew.
We were enchanted, but there’s work to do
Caring for God’s beloved creation,
Caring for God’s beloved creation.

2. Lord, all creation You to us confide.
Fields in abundance, and the oceans wide.
We want for nothing, but still aren’t satisfied
Caring for God’s beloved creation,
Caring for God’s beloved creation.

3. Lord, you have warned us, but we fail to heed.
Where there’s a serpent, there will be a tree.
We reap the harvest, but neglect to seed,
Caring for God’s beloved creation,
Caring for God’s beloved creation.

4. Woods, streams and mountains also bear Your proof.
When they are hurting, you are hurting too.
Lord, please forgive us, we know not what we do
Caring for God’s beloved creation,
Caring for God’s beloved creation.

5. Lord, in your mercy, help us find the way.
We long for guidance to the garden gate.
And with your blessing, we would humbly stay
Caring for God’s beloved creation,
Caring for God’s beloved creation.
