Psalm Twenty–four
Оглавление1 The earth is God’s, and the fulness thereof;The world, and they that dwell therein.2 For he hath founded it upon the seas,And established it upon the floods.3 Who shall ascend into the hill of God?And who shall stand in his holy place?4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood,And hath not sworn deceitfully.5 He shall receive a blessing from God,And righteousness from the God of his salvation.6 This is the generation of them that seek after him,That seek thy face, even Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates;And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors:And the King of glory will come in.8 Who is the King of glory?God strong and mighty,God mighty in battle.9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates;Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors:And the King of glory will come in.10 Who is this King of glory?God of hosts,He is the King of glory.
The earth we once called Gaia A goddess who sustained humanity
That would be us
Wraps herself in the oceans
And the wilderness
She breathes beauty
Calls forth birdsong
And embraces all living things
Who dares pollute her body
Ravage her beauty
Defile her heart
And scar her eternal face?
She provides a place for us
Unto the millennia
She blesses us
With breeze and crystal waters
And blossoming trees
That give us everything we need to thrive
Who is this Gaia
This mother of all
This presence among us?
How do we thank her?
How do we respond in grace?
