I have one more song by Michael Mangan recycled from the out of print album Sing Jubilee. “Care for Life” found a place in True Colours Shine and fits the justice them of that collection. It can be used whenever creation is highlighted in a liturgy. He had no need to update the text of this one.
The sheet music can be purchased at Litmus. You can also access his lyrics there.
Care For Life
Words & music by Michael Mangan
Care for all of God’s creation,
Care for every living thing,
Care for the treasure we’ve been given,
Care for life.
Hear the humpback singing from the sea,
With a message for you and for me.
The dolphins and the coral reef,
The fishes in the ocean deep,
They won’t survive unless we hear their plea to
An eagle in a clear blue sky,
Soars above a mountain high.
The dancing streams and forest trees,
So much life depends on these.
We’ll be sorry if we do not try to
We must gather side by side.
People of the earth unite.
Our sisters and our brothers,
Our fathers and our mothers
The time has come, now we must decide to
