Let us turn our hearts to the West
From there the thunders bring us cleansing rain
Creator God, heal us and our relatives.
Let us turn our hearts to the North
Winter comes to us from there and calls us to rest.
Creator God, restore our strength.
Let us turn our hearts to the East.
The morning sun begins each day there.
Creator God, awaken us and help us to walk with a renewed life.
Let us turn our hearts to the South
Where the warm winds come from to give us comfort and joy.
Let us turn our hearts to the Sky
From there our Creator sees all around us.
Creator God, help us to trust you to lead us.
Let us turn our hearts to the Earth
From there quiet wisdom comes to teach us.
Creator God, hear us as we pray.
