INDIAN PRAYER 

 

Oh Great Spirit,

 

Whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to the world - Hear me-I come before you, one of your children.I am small and weak I need your strength and wisdom.

 

Let me walk in beauty and

 

make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.Make my hands respect the things you have made,

 

my ears sharp to hear your voice.

 

Make me wise, so that I may know the things

 

That you have taught my People, the lesson you have hidden in every leaf and rock.I seek strength, not to be superior

 

to my brothers,

 

but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come to you, with clean hands and straight eyes,

 

so when life fades

 

as the fading sunset,

 

My spirit may come to you without shame.
