Gift of Common Home
Erwin Cabucos

1.         We hear the cry of our ailing earth      
            And the desire for nations to unite
            To protect this Home, made before our time
            To preserve this Creator's blessed gift

Refrain:          O praise be to God for our Common Home
                        To respect and to care is our common call
                        As we live our faith in Christ the Lord
                        For the good of all creation

2.         We are one with the poor in their cry
            When nature’s fury comes causes to die
            To help restore for future is our call
            As sacred when God moulded us all (Refrain)

3.         We live out the call to simple life
            Our joy comes from not harming but survive
            To leave footprints friendly for the Earth
            So, children’s future will be well worth (Refrain)
