Great Gitche Manitou, Creator of all things,
In Your wisdom, You made the earth, sky, and springs.
From Your hand, all creatures come to be,
Each one unique, yet part of the harmony.
We thank You, Great Spirit, for the blessings You bestow,
For the sun that warms us, and the rain that makes things grow.
For the animals that roam the land and sea,
For the trees that give us shelter and the fruits that feed.
We thank You for the beauty of the earth,
For the mountains that inspire, and the rivers that give birth
To the fish that swim and the birds that fly,
To the forests that whisper and the flowers that sigh.
We thank You for the love that You show,
For the families and friends that we know.
For the kindness and compassion that we share,
For the healing and forgiveness that we bear.
Great Gitche Manitou, we humbly offer our gratitude,
For the blessings that You have bestowed on our multitude.
May we cherish Your gifts and live in unison,
And keep Your love close to our hearts till time is done.
