O God the Creator

1.  O God the Creator, the Three in One,
    The Creator of earth and moon and sun,
    You have loved and protected us since time first begun,
    And we're brothers and sisters in God's love, in God's love,
    And we're brothers and sisters in God's love.

2.  For the earth is our mother, where all things grow,
    And her valleys are green where the waters flow,
    Gentle deer and the eagle and the mighty buffalo,
    And we're brothers and sisters in God's love, in God's love,
    And we're brothers and sisters in God's love.

3.  We are one in the Spirit, in the great mystery,
    Walk together in beauty as we dwell in harmony,
    Bringing all of God's children into one community,
    And we're brothers and sisters in God's love, in God's love,
    And we're brothers and sisters in God's love.

4.  Send a sense of Your presence as we seek leadership.
    Pray that God will join us in our vision quest.
    Welcome God to come into our hearts as our guest,
    And we're brothers and sisters in God's love, in God's love,
    And we're brothers and sisters in God's love.
