Covenantal God - 1



The First Covenant made with Noah and the Earth         
see Genesis 6-9:17
Pine Ridge Reservation by Bekah Bush
Covenantal God,
Holy Remember-er,
all the earth gives thanks and praise
that you do not forget.
The heavens declare your glory!
The trees of the field clap their hands!
Earth’s fullness and beauty in
bird songs and flowering fragrance
proclaim life and hope.
Rainbow signs of promise
remind of loving faithfulness
initiated by earth’s
God of the Covenant
Holy Remember-er of
steadfast love.

Covenantal God
of second chances and
do-overs,
when all creation groans
laboring for new life
waiting for its renewal
and restoration,
send forth your Spirit
and renew the face of the earth!
May your bow in the heavens
not only serve as your reminder
but also as ours,
remembering you are near
and you are faithful.

Holy Remember-er
come and fill the hearts of
the faithful again.
Kindle within the fire of your love
so that we may join in
your remembrance of love and
care for all the earth.
As your co-creators
honored with the call to be servant
within creation’s well being
help us be holy remember-ers
and faith-filled stewards
of your eternal covenant to all life
in all the cosmos so loved by you.
