Leunig's Prayer #10 (Thanks for the invention of the wheelbarrow)
After listening to Joo and Jon I went looking for more Leunig prayers
and I set number 10 to music with a Faux diggerdon't for accompaniment.
The only way you can classify this as a collab is that I took Leunig's
words and set a tune to them. Many of his prayers are about gardens
and being a gardener this prayer appealed to me the most.
If anybody want to do some more overlays then you are quite welcome.
Dear God,
We rejoice and give thanks for earthworms,
bees, ladybirds and broody hens;
for humans tending their gardens, talking to animals,
cleaning their homes and singing to themselves;
for rising of the sap, the fragrance of growth,
the invention of the wheelbarrow and the existence of the teapot,
we give thanks. We celebrate and give thanks.
Amen.
