Chant of the Four Elements

The lyrics of this chant were written by Susan Donnelly:

Chant of the Four Elements

FIRE: Take me to the fire.

Purify my mind.

Burning with desire.

Seek and I will find.

(Response) Holy fire it is burning

send a message to my soul.

Love is what the heart is yearning

Love is here to make us whole.

WATER: Take me to the water.

wash away the pain.

Let the sacred potter

turn losses into gains.

(Response) Deep within the river

the heartbeat of my soul.

The taker and the giver

unite and make me whole.

AIR Lift me to the sky

so sacred winds will bring

Holy breath of life

Sacred air begins to sing.


(Response) Sacred air keep flowing,

Energy of life and breath.

All is well within this body.

Blessed be, there is no death.

EARTH Ground me in the Earth

Like a tree my roots go deep.

Gaia's heart beats strong

I hear it in my sleep.

(Response) Hear her calls to heal the children

Gently warm them in the sun.

Life on earth is dearly precious

Realize that we are One.
