34. The Water Prayer He Prabhu
You gave us a world
So beautiful and complete;
And made us in your image
With faith that we would manage
You came to live in us
To make life flow in us;
To fill our lives with love and laughter
In your ‘Avataar’ – that we call Water’
So - Teach us, o lord
To love cherish and respect;
The shower of your love,
The celestial flow that binds us
Open our eyes to the magic of Water
This colourless, odourless, formless matter
That gives earth its brilliant colour
And finds place in every corner.
We are all gathered today
To thank you for being in us
Guide us so we can show our brethren
You – God – in every drop.
