"Allow Me O Lord"

Allow me to walk on the green grass, O Lord

The softness of your arms

Allow me to rest under the shady trees, O Lord

The mercy of your shelter.

Allow me to feel the gentle breeze, O Lord

The gift of feeling free.

Allow me to bask in the golden sunshine, O Lord

The shower of your warmth and love.

Allow me to feel the rain on my face, O Lord

The drops of your kindness.

Allow me to delight in the rainbow, O Lord,

The lessons in painting you taught us.

Allow the birds to chirp at my window, O Lord

The messengers of your peace and sweetness.

Allow me to hug my furry friends, O Lord

The remainder of your unconditional friendship.

Allow me to scale the magnificent mountains, O Lord

The reflection of your dreams for us.

Allow me to swim in the rivers, O Lord

The design of your swiftness for us.

Allow me to admire the moonlit night, O Lord

The beloved in you comes in that beauty.

Allow me to dance under the skies, O Lord

The triumph and confidence you instill in us.

Hold them, and me and everyone, O Lord

Tightly, but gently and kindly evermore,

Lest your chosen earth falls apart.
