A Prayer

As the flower opens to the sun

May our hearts open up to you

As the sun gives life

May you give us life, Lord

Circle us, Lord

Keep love within

Keep hatred without

Circle us, Lord

Keep peace within

Keep chaos without

Lord, for all of your children

I pray that walls may be broken down

I pray that bridges may be built

I pray that diversity might be celebrated

I pray that we all may be instruments of your peace

For all of your creation I pray

Dona Nobis Pacem et in Terra

Grant Us Peace on Earth
