Lord of the vineyard,
Lord of all the earth and beyond,
Lord of the critters and creatures -
The great cloud of witnesses
watches and grieves at what is happening in your vineyard -
+soldiers and civilians killing and dying as nations make war,
+children going hungry as mothers and fathers search for food,
+some chasing riches and rest while others are hungry and homeless,
+plants and animals pushed to the edge of extinction by habitat destruction and changing climate.
May the witnesses inspire us to run by faith the race before us.
Come and sing once again your song of love for your vineyard,
that it may be a pleasant planting
and a place of peace for all.
For all - yes.
